• Introducing innovative protocol UDL and UCM

Universal data license (UDL)It is one of the pioneering agreements in the Arweave ecosystem in 2023, which allows creators to upload personalized use clauses for them to upload them to Arweave content (atomic assets).To understand it simply, UDL not only allows creators to realize content, but also can flexibly customize its own content use permissions.

The operating mechanism of UDL is very clever.Through the predefined label, creators can define the license clause by programming and attach these tags to atomic assets as “licenses”.These labels cover many aspects, including: whether it is allowed to be adapted, secondary creation; whether commercial use is allowed; the duration of the license permit, etc.

Universal Content Marketplace (UCM)It is another pioneering protocol after UDL, which is equivalent to Arweave’s chain order book contract, so that atomic assets can be traded without trust on PermaWeb.Unlike the traditional NFT market, UCM is not limited to specific types of assets, and can also trade papers, domain names, components, and even applications.

UCM not only creates a decentralized and safe and transparent trading environment for creators and users, but also provides developers with broad development space.Anyone with programming knowledge can build front -end UI based on the UCM protocol.Bazar is the first atomic asset exchange based on the UCM protocol.

Bazar is a decentralized atomic asset exchange based on PermawebIt provides an intuitive and easy -to -use platform for purchasing and selling various types of atomic assets, including images, video, audio, web pages, and applications.

Summarize

Arweave ecology was a milestone year in 2023. Whether it is network data performance, agreement upgrade, technological innovation and ecological development, it has good performance and breakthroughs.In terms of network data performance, the most eye -catching is transaction volume data. In 2023, a total of1,759,817,766Pen, the growth in 2022 has exceeded amazing4DoubleIn addition, other key network indicators also have a good growth.However, slightly surprisingly, under the circumstances where various indicators are growing, the network storage volume in 2023 fell 55.78%compared with 2022.These signals indicate that Arweave is undergoing a transformation of positioning.

Arweave is no longer concentrated in the infrastructure that can only be stored, and it can also carry a huge and active ecology.In the context of the bear market, the demand for large storage documents is also decreasing, so Arweave’s network storage volume is still foreseeable.However, the transaction volume has achieved anti -rising.In addition, the development activities of the Arweave network are also extremely active. Data show that the growth of smart contracts in 2023 compared to 2022 comparedIncreasing 1063.43%The vitality of the entire ecology has been significantly improved.

In terms of agreement upgrades, Arweave completed the upgrades of version 2.6 and 2.7, respectively, making Arweave more environmentally friendly, stable and secure.In terms of technological innovation, Arweave launched two pioneering agreements in 2023 -General Data License (UDL) and General Content Market (UCM) agreement, allowing users to customize and trading atomic assets.In terms of ecological activities, Arweave ecology has organized a number of hackers and large offline activities. At the same time, many excellent emerging projects have emerged, spanning multiple tracks of NFT, AI and inscriptions.

In terms of ecological project development, IRYS still maintains a leading position and undertakes almost 80% of the amount of upload quantity data of the Arweave ecology; the integration and ecological expansion that the prophet project Redstone never stops, providing the power from Arweave in the field of WEB3; Permaswap andEverpay has moved towards compliance and simplification, and gradually establishes a multi -chain financial system for Arweave; the Arconnect wallet has ushered in the long -lost version upgrade, becoming more beautiful and easy to use;The more nodes are joined, and gradually developed into a huge and decentralized network; the social protocol DCENT.LAND launched ANS domain names and other products, providing a comprehensive social system for the ecology; the storage project ARDRIVE and Akord are also continuously iterated to optimize the products to explore the explorationMore application scenarios; database project WeaveDB and Kwil have successively launched new tools to provide developers with a good development experience; subsequent implementation of atomic assets also gave birth to emerging NFT markets such as Bazar, Rareweave and FAIR Protocol.Of course, the Permadao community’s contributions cannot be ignored in the past year. More than 400 contributors have participated in collaboration and jointly promoted the development of the Arweave ecosystem.Overall, although some projects in the ecology have stagnated, new projects are constantly emerging, and the ecology still maintains sufficient vitality.Emerging projects are developing continuously, and the old -fashioned head projects are also striving to break through. The pursuit of product compliance, simplicity, and applicability, and promotes the process of Mass Adoption.

DEPIN is likely to become a trillion -dollar market value in the near future, and Arweave is unique in the permanent storage track, which has entered a channel for rapid growth in 2023.From the various data indicators in early 2024, the momentum of growth is still continuing.Arweave is not only an important infrastructure of Web3, but also an increasingly prosperous ecology. As the future is halved in Bitcoin and the recovery of the investment environment, its value will gradually appear due to past precipitation.
