We’re excited to announce that KYVE is now using @Filecoin Onchain Cloud to store Celestia and Story Protocol data across a decentralized network of Filecoin storage providers.
We are now scaling up to a storage layer built for petabytes of chain data and blazing-fast validator syncing.
.@KYVENetwork stores @celestia and @StoryProtocol chain data on Filecoin Onchain Cloud.
Petabyte-scale, continuously verified, with validator syncing via KSYNC in minutes.
Infrastructure that scales with the networks running on top of it.
KYVE has taken over the open-source IP and design stack of @useload.
This isn't just a handshake partnership; the technical overlap runs deeper than that. Load Network built a native EVM precompile (0x21) that fetches directly from KYVE's Trustless API, giving smart contracts access to permanently archived Ethereum blob data without going through oracles. KYVE infrastructure was embedded into Load's EVM execution layer. The acquisition reflects a connection that already existed at the code level.
What Load Network built is worth understanding in full. This was the highest-throughput EVM chain ever built around onchain data storage: a 2B gas limit (2 gigagas), ~125 MBps network throughput, and a sustained TPS of 60,000. To achieve permanent storage without sacrificing EVM performance, Load used Reth execution extensions to serialize each block in Borsh, compress it in Brotli, and settle it on Arweave. The result: one of the largest data protocols on Arweave by number of settled data items.
Beyond raw throughput, Load shipped something no other EVM chain had attempted, a fully bidirectional @onlyarweave data pipeline at the smart contract layer. Precompile 0x17 lets a Solidity contract upload data directly to Arweave. Precompile 0x18 reads it back. Precompile 0x20 gives smart contracts access to any historical Load block from genesis, not just the last 256. These aren't wrappers or oracle calls, they are native EVM operations. Chains like Metis, EigenLayer, and RSS3 ran on this infrastructure in production.
KYVE has spent seven years in the Arweave ecosystem building the only validation and archival layer that makes data trustless leading it to be the biggest data uploader on Arweave. Load Network spent its existence building the EVM execution layer that makes data programmable. The IP and design stack now sit under KYVE's stewardship.
To the Load Network team and community: what you built is genuinely impressive work. KYVE is glad to carry it forward.
Load Network is changing hands. We're excited to share that Load's open source code and design IP are being taken over by @KYVENetwork -- the protocol for trustless, permanently archived blockchain data.
Since inception, Load has built the EVM chain with the single highest data throughput and Arweave-backed archival. KYVE is the right team to take this further, with their existing network of integrations across Story, Celestia, dYdX, and beyond.
The Load EVM L1 will remain live. Preparation for the launch of Load mainnet is already underway after we completed the Ultramarine consensus layer and final stress tests last week.
Part of the Load engineering team is on deck with KYVE to make sure migrations and future upgrades go smoothly.
Support for KYVE's Trustless API was already embedded at the Load protocol level in 2024; this hand-off will deepen the integration.
We could not think of a better team than KYVE to carry this forward, with their 7 year history in the Arweave ecosystem and shared mission to solve the problem of decentralized storage for blockchain data.
Thank you to everyone that has supported Load on the journey so far -- there is far more still to come.
Like many protocols, we've been navigating the growing challenges of maintaining a secure and high-quality environment on Discord, scam activity, bots, and noise have become harder to manage industry-wide. Rather than shut things down completely, we want to give our community a chance to shape what comes next.
We'll be consolidating activity to #general and #announcements only.
NEW: Major investigation dropping February 26 on one of crypto’s most profitable businesses where multiple employees abused internal data to insider trade over a prolonged period of time.
KYVE is scaling up! KYVE is officially integrating @Filecoin Onchain Cloud as a core storage solution.
After years of building on Arweave, KYVE is expanding to a modular, multi-storage infrastructure to meet the petabyte-scale demands of modern Web3.
Why Filecoin? It’s about "Proofs over Promises." With Onchain Cloud, storage is programmable. If a provider can't prove they have the data via PDP (Proof of Data Possession), the system knows. No more black boxes.
This expansion allows the ecosystems KYVE supports: @celestiaorg, @StoryProtocol, and @AvailProject to choose a storage layer that matches their specific data lifecycle and scale.
Combined with KYVE’s validation, Filecoin Onchain Cloud ensures the integrity of historical data.
6/6 What’s Next?
We are just getting started. The transition to these new protocols ensures we are ready for the scale of 2026.
Stay active, stay engaged, and let’s keep building.
