Arweave Name Service (ANS)
@ArweaveANS
Your identity for the Arweave permaweb. Pay once, own forever. Coming to @aoTheComputer






ANS (@ArweaveANS) is migrating to ao (@aoTheComputer). The Arweave Name Service (ANS) was launched as the first human-readable address protocol on Arweave in February, 2023. Since that launch, 2 years ago, over 1,300 users have registered more than 2,000 domains and helped us gain the traction needed to be integrated in a range of Arweave ecosystem apps like ViewBlock, everPay, and Arweave-compatible wallets. We had a lot of fun building in the wild west of Arweave in its pre-ao days, but it's time for ANS to make the switch for the sake of long-term sustainability and interoperability with where Arweave compute will live. ANS was built at a time where there was no unified compute layer for the Arweave ecosystem. We pieced it together using SmartWeave contracts and everPay payment infrastructure to ensure it was possible to mint names with AR tokens. A lot has changed since 2023.

🚀 HackerNoon and namespace.gg by @decentlandlabs are teaming up to bring Decentralized Identities to our 50,000+ contributors! 🌐 👋 Say goodbye to complex alphanumeric wallet addresses and hello to self-sovereign IDs based on your HackerNoon handle. Thanks to our partnership with namespace.gg, we're making decentralized identities easy and permanent, using the Molecular Execution Machine on the Arweave blockchain. 🗝️ Claim your decentralized ID in the near future! Your identity, your control, forever on the Arweave blockchain. newswire.com/news/hackernoo…

We're building the first EVM-compatible compute protocol on Arweave. WeaveVM aims to be the foundation for a new EVM ecosystem on the permaweb, provide support for ERC20/ERC721 tokens, and enable EVM contracts native access to the most scalable permanent storage that exists.
