A decentralized data storage altcoin experiences significant gains following the launch of a new project
An altcoin called AR, which is the native asset of Arweave, has seen a surge of over 104% in value this week. Arweave is a protocol that aims to enable permanent data storage on a decentralized network. The current trading price of AR is $27.79, up from $13.62 one week ago.
The increase in AR’s value can be attributed to the recent launch of AO, a hyperparallel computer running on Arweave’s network. The testnet for AO was announced by Sam Williams, the co-founder and CEO of Arweave. This new computing environment is designed to aid with scaling and combine the benefits of smart contract applications with traditional computing environments.
ARweave describes AO as a unified computing environment hosted on a distributed network, where an arbitrary number of parallel processes can be resident and coordinate through an open message passing layer.
In addition to the launch of AO, Arweave also achieved its highest number of transactions ever this month. After the launch, the project started registering more than 600 transactions per second.
AR’s gains and its all-time high
Despite its gains this week, AR is still down by nearly 69% from its all-time high of $89.24, which was reached in November 2021.
