KYVE 💫

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.

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.

when you realize the data you built everything on… was never verified.

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.

Checking the archives... Pretty sure it's not one of the chains we've validated.

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.

Happy New Year of the Horse! May this year bring unstoppable momentum, fearless moves and full-speed wins 🔥

1/ Huge thanks to everyone who tuned into our Space last week! 🎙️ We’re pushing the boundaries of the network and moving toward a more robust ecosystem. Here is a quick recap for those who prefer to read rather than listen, of what we discussed regarding 2026 and beyond. 👇

@jujujayb @RieweFabian @BramasPaul Yes we also talked about the burn mechanism.

2026 shape you aren't ready

POV: Our Head of Ecosystem explaining (again) that your favorite blockchain is cool… but without data validity, it’s just vibes and assumptions.
