Arweave Ecosystem Weekly Report #29: The Arweave Name Service edition

Members of the Arweave community were rewarded with name service domains which were launched during the week. From Ukraine war content, preservation on the permaweb exceeded 24 million, and Arweave has shown how it can be used as a force for good by helping to preserve the history of the most persecuted ethnic minority in the world.

Here are the top developments in the ecosystem:

ANS domains airdropped to the Arweave community

Arweave name service domains were airdropped to 513 community members by Web3 social protocol decent.land. Users of Verto ID and alpha testers of the original decent.land protocol are among those eligible for airdrop. 

The team is working to ensure ANS domains are displayed on Verto Exchange and ViewBlock instead of wallet addresses. Incentive mechanisms for people to earn passive income for holding ANS domain will be available in the mainnet, the team said.

Rohingya Archive on Arweave gives scorecard

After a year of testing its structure, the Rohingya archive or R-archive has emerged from its pilot stage and is set to scale in coming months. Rohingya in Myanmar are victims of ethnic cleansing, genocide and regarded as the most persecuted minority ethnic group in the world by the United Nations. Many have fled in the aftermath of years of  violent crackdown. The R-archive aims to collect and preserve in digital formats documents, pictures and videos that prove that Rohingya have lived in Myanmar for centuries.
