Most internet failures are quiet.
They show up as broken links, missing files, or empty dashboards.
https://t.co/ljKQFJO6vN helps prevent these failures by making permanent data reachable long after original URLs stop working.
Just like that 22k $ARIO was added to the Protocol Balance 🎉
What is the Protocol Balance? It's the primary sink and source of ARIO tokens circulating through the ARIO Network 🐘
Link rot is not a theoretical problem. It affects research, journalism, public records, and software.
ARIO exists to keep data online and accessible even when platforms fail.
We've made a bunch of friends on @base since making the $ARIO token available there 🟦🤝🐘
We put together an article that explains what $ARIO does for the First Permanent Cloud Network
“ar io gateways are the access layer of arweave, the permanent storage layer of the internet.”
Thanks for the intro! Couldn’t have said this better myself!
Are you just learning about https://t.co/WomXr5dQiV Network? Permanence-curious? Send me a DM and let’s talk!!
another round of x402 deep dives!
we're starting off with a familiar name -
1. ElizaOS @elizaOS_news@elizaOSc
our beloved agent framework is making a comeback - i dug through the codebase and saw some Eliza Cloud PRs, and was confirmed by the team that they're working on MCP x402 plugins for Eliza Cloud.
with the new platform you'll be able to deploy agent swarms powered by x402 payments. these swarms will be powered by ERC-8004 - meaning that agents built with Eliza will be verifiable and secure. (more on that tomorrow).
2. switchboard @switchboardxyz
switchboard is currently the only x402 compatible oracle out there.
they're powered by @corbits_dev (that was covered in the last deep dive!) - meaning that now humans and agents can get verifiable data on a pay-per-use basis, seamlessly paid with x402 that enables microtransactions.
this is a big deal for agents as now agents will be able to access paid data, autonomously, which would open up a whole new world of possibilities for what you could build (polymarket trading agents, anyone?)
3. ar . io @ar_io_network
ar io gateways are the access layer of arweave, the permanent storage layer of the internet.
with their newest x402 integration, the gateways can now charge per access in microtransactions, enable payment standardisation across gateways, and creating a flywheel back to the ARIO token, with revenue made from x402 transactions.
comment below which x402 apps you want me to look at next 👇
Question like this make so me excited.
@ar_io_network has solved the decentralised hosting problem and barely anyone knows about it.
Already ~4000 domains purchased and many sites deployed.
Imagine when the word really gets out.
more below 👇
ser (apologies if anyone else from the team already replied) but u absolutely have to come check out what we've cooked in the @ar_io_network stack: Permanent, "pay once" uploads and storage on Arweave, payments with many currencies (including SOL and now x402), friendly permanent actually browser-compatible domains, and decentralized access to those domains via 650+ gateways.
check out my bio homepage for some of the fun projects i'm working on (warning not-skilled-dev alert)
this is a fun one i'm working on too: https://t.co/DYkOEWUXAz
and here are some docs to get started: https://t.co/Z9tvutx2vD
please reach out if interested, we'd love to show you around!
This week on the Gateway 🌐
🌅 A Different Kind of Episode
🧠 Looking Back on Web3, Permanence, and Purpose
❤️ Andrew Says Goodbye and Thank You
Watch the final episode of the Gateway, here and archived forever on Arweave 🐘
https://t.co/ePmdVdQxrJ
x402 has arrived on the permanent web ⓐ
There is now a network of ~650 @ar_io_network gateways that can facilitate machine-to-machine payment for accessing the worlds only decentralised permanent data lake - @ArweaveEco
x402 for uploads coming soon...
We're going to cook so hard with this.
Excited for this chat tomorrow with @naik_nischal at @arlinklabs
One-click to deploy an app which is then accessible as subdomain of over 650 @ar_io_network gateways.
Easy to use actually decentralised apps are here
We’ve also been playing with The Memes by @punk6529 🧪
They’re #CC0 (so anyone can build on them) and stored on Arweave (so the data’s verifiable & open).
Each piece can surface through the 600+ ARIO gateways 🐘
Decentralized culture powered by decentralized infrastructure
