GM fellow Arweaver!
As a decentralized data lake, Arweave is wide open for anyone to use, storing any kind of data permanently for a one-time payment. More projects are catching on to its utility, and that’s exactly where Onboard Arweave steps in.
Today, we’re diving into Onboard’s recent successes and how their service speeds up the transition for projects and their founders.
Hop onboard.
All aboard the permaweb! 📢
Initiated by Autonomous Finance, Forward Research, and Christian Zumrovski, Onboard Arweave is a targeted program that accelerates the integration of projects and organizations into the Arweave ecosystem through tiered support packages.
As stated on their website: “Onboard is the fastest way to meet your storage & compute needs with Arweave and AO.” Judging by all the partnership announcements these past few months, we’re inclined to agree.
Onboard’s tiers cater to different needs, from basic onboarding to comprehensive ecosystem integration, all aimed at making permanent, decentralized data storage accessible and scalable.
Here's a quick breakdown of the support levels on offer:
- Seeker: The entry-level tier offers foundational support, including AO compute credits, up to 100GB storage on Arweave, architectural guidance and ecosystem introductions, helping new projects get started without heavy commitments.
- Pathfinder: Builds on Seeker with enhanced resources, including up to $5,000 in AO compute credits, additional Arweave storage, investor introductions, priority support across product and development, and several opportunities for co-marketing initiatives. Ideal for existing projects with traction.
- Pioneer: Onboard’s premium tier adds direct access to Arweave's core development team, VIP access to networking events, speaker slots at conferences, bespoke storage and compute solutions to match roadmap goals, and other fine-tuned benefits to help founders make the most of their partnerships.
Notable partnerships
Onboard Arweave showcases over a dozen case studies on their site, highlighting innovative collaborations across AI, payments, health, and beyond. Shoutout to Ivan and the Autonomous Finance team for their support on these articles.
While each project is important and unique in its own right, there are a few standout examples that show what’s possible:
- Bensi Box tokenizes real-world fine art pieces, including work from Pablo Picasso. Bensi leverages Arweave to store the tokenized art permanently and for its front-end applications.
- Confidios makes data self-governing through smart contracts, tapping into Arweave as a permanent, auditable, and verifiable storage solution.
- dHealth utilizes Load S3 for temporary storage, creating a unified, secure AI assistant to handle sensitive health data. Leveraging AO’s compute layer and Arweave’s permanent storage, dHealth temporarily stores health records with verifiable cryptographic identifiers.
- Bitplex standardizes NFTs on Bitcoin's Spark layer 2, while relying on Arweave and AR.IO to keep the data permanent, eliminating broken links and making NFT ownership rock-solid.
How to get onboard
You might be wondering why we're highlighting this platform to a crowd of Arweave pros like you, but it’s really quite straightforward. We want more projects and founders discovering the power of permanent storage, and Onboard Arweave makes that transition smooth and friction-free. Every new team that joins up boosts permaweb utility, spreads the benefits of the permaweb organically, and pushes our network stats in the right direction.
So if you know any founders or developers working at the intersection of Web3 and AI, or even artists, journalists, and creators who could benefit from permanent memories, feel free to point them towards Chris and the team at onboard.arweave.net.
The Arweave ecosystem is all about human connections, and a personal intro is all it takes to make a meaningful difference.
