AR.IO is a protocol and network that builds infrastructure to facilitate the transfer of information in (I) and out (O) of a blockchain called Arweave (AR), hence: AR.IO. Arweave is like Bitcoin, but for data: a permanent and decentralized web inside an open ledger. Permanent storage has many applications: from the preservation of humanity's most important data, to the hosting of truly decentralized web apps. These decentralized apps - or dapps - built on Arweave (of which there are hundreds), need infrastructure to retrieve data from the blockchain, as well as to contribute new data to it. They do this through gateways. AR.IO built these incentivized and decentralized gateways - making it possible for dapps to do just that.

The ar.io ecosystem is dedicated to cultivating products and protocols for sustaining access to digital permanence, making the permaweb available to everyone. The current list of AR.IO products includes:
