## What it is
The official Erlang implementation of the Arweave protocol, a distributed, cryptographically verified permanent archive built on a cryptocurrency. It runs the peer-to-peer Blockweave network where miners are incentivized to store rare data, enabling permanent decentralized data storage.

## Use cases
- run an Arweave node to store data permanently
- mine on the Arweave blockweave network
- host decentralized permanent web apps
- archive data in a censorship-resistant way
- build applications on permanent decentralized storage
- participate in the Arweave peer-to-peer network

## When to choose
- you need data stored permanently and verifiably
- you want to run or mine on the Arweave network
- you are building decentralized apps on permanent storage
- you want a Bitcoin-like network for data instead of currency

## When to avoid
- you only need short-term or mutable storage
- you want a simple centralized database
- you cannot run a full Erlang-based node
- you need a managed cloud storage service

## Facets
- artifact type: application

- domain: blockchain, microservices, self-hosted, networking
