Arweave is a blockchain-based storage network built around a simple idea: pay once and store data permanently. Founded by Sam Williams in 2017, it uses a design called the permaweb, where information is meant to stay accessible for good rather than being kept on a server that could be switched off. Instead of a standard blockchain, Arweave uses a structure called the blockweave, where each block links to the one before it and to a random earlier block that holds stored data. Its Proof of Access consensus rewards miners for keeping that historical data available, so the network has a built-in reason to preserve everything it holds. The AR token is what makes this work. People use AR to pay for storage, and miners earn AR for maintaining access to data across the network. Developers also build decentralised websites and applications on the permaweb, which are hosted in the same permanent way.

FAQ ## Buying Arweave: FAQs What is the smallest amount of Arweave I can buy? A whole AR is not required. The minimum order on Digital Surge is $1 AUD, so you can start with only a small amount of AUD and build your holding whenever it suits rather than putting in a large sum up front. How quickly can I buy Arweave after signing up? Usually minutes. Once the identity check is done, a PayID deposit of AUD normally lands within a minute, so you can go from creating an account to buying AR in a single sitting. Can I sell my Arweave back to AUD? Yes. Sell your AR for AUD on Digital Surge at any time and withdraw the Australian dollars to your bank. There is no lock-in, so you choose exactly when to turn your Arweave back into cash. What can I do with Arweave tokens? AR tokens pay for permanent storage on the Arweave network. You can use AR to store files, websites, or applications on the permaweb, and it is the same token that miners earn for keeping that data available across the network over time. How is Arweave different from normal cloud storage? Arweave charges a single upfront payment for storage that is meant to last indefinitely, while ordinary cloud storage bills you month after month. Data placed on the permaweb becomes part of a shared network rather than sitting with one provider who could remove it. How do I check the live AR price in AUD? The live AR price in AUD sits at the top of this page and refreshes through the day. Open the chart to see Arweave against the Australian dollar, or use the converter to size an order in AUD before buying.
