Since its transition to mainnet, AR.IO has demonstrated significant progress and achievements driven by community growth and technological improvements.
Gateway Expansion and Network Reliability
Since the mainnet launch, the number of gateways has increased from 277 to 682, more than doubling the testnet numbers. By ensuring reliable data access, the community of gateway operators has distributed 9,608,302M [$ARIO] in rewards. These achievements contribute to network stability and inspire further expansion.
Arweave Name System: User-Friendly Naming for Decentralized Identity
The Arweave Name System saw significant growth with over 900 names added to its registry over the past six months. The total number of registered names has surpassed 3,700, with more than 100,000 under_names created, reflecting increasing user interest in permanent, censorship-resistant naming solutions.
Technical Innovations and the Future of AR.IO
Each upgraded node, including the release of Node 46, offers enhancements such as faster and more reliable data retrieval. The increase in technological capabilities, along with system scaling, indicates AR.IO's future position as a foundation for decentralized applications.
The AR.IO Network is on a trajectory to strengthen its role in the development of a permanent, decentralized internet, and its future achievements only reaffirm its determination.
