๐ KYVE is proud to announce that the long-awaited @ar_io_networkโs Turbo integration is live & running on the protocol!
Supported by all mainnet data pools, Turbo enables validators to pay for @ArweaveEco storage in $KYVE, providing a cheaper & more streamlined experience when permanently storing blockchain data ๐ค๐ ๏ธ
How does this impact the entire network? โคต๏ธ
KYVE's protocol validators store blockchain data on Arweave to ensure a permanent backup. Previously, storage costs were paid in $AR, which added complications for validator fund management.
Now, with Turbo integrated, validators can pay directly in $KYVE, simplifying operations & making the process more efficient. There has been already 140+GB of data uploaded through Turbo onto Arweave!
This change leads to a more streamlined storage process, easing the validator experience for providing the trustless data that other projects & users rely on to thrive. Plus, it adds another layer of utility for $KYVE.
๐งช Before bringing this to mainnet, Turbo was put to the test by KYVE Beta Testers, with an overall feedback being: โLess time & less effort!โ
Learnings from this testing phase brought up a smooth and refined transition for the other validators, with them only needing to upgrade their local node & set up a Turbo wallet โก๏ธ https://t.co/2vlLP1TLQO
@cosmos validators, looking to further optimize your setup? Donโt miss out on the multi-network opportunities awaiting on KYVE! โก๏ธ https://t.co/qHBJ4xhTaf
