Your front door
to the permaweb.

Run reliable and performant systems for your own use cases, your community, or even the whole permaweb. Be part of building the new web, and get rewarded in the process.

Explore Gateways

Gateways are the performant access points to Arweave, enabling seamless data "in" and "out" of the permaweb. "In" refers to bundling, indexing, and seeding new data; while "Out" means fast retrieval, caching, and querying.

AR.IO gateways are designed for flexibility, serving operators, users, and developers by allowing interchangeable core components. This modular approach supports various operations and can be tailored to different scales and needs. It's a practical solution that helps developers customize applications, making the platform adaptable and straightforward to use.

Uniquely configure your gateway for your specific applications, use cases, community needs, or business model - whether to serve the broader ecosystem or isolate it for personal use. Run it on your own laptop or build a whole system around it and make it multi-cloud with redundancy and a robust cache. It is all up to you how you want to use it!

Participate in Delegated Staking

By delegating stake to an AR.IO gateway, you're not just holding tokens - you're actively contributing to, and benefiting from the network's growth and utility.

Access the Permaweb

Becoming a gateway operator is currently one of the biggest opportunities in the Arweave ecosystem. Gateways that are joined in the AR.IO Network will be easily discoverable, get access to its network data sharing layer, and earn network rewards.

Data Writing and Proxying

AR.IO gateways excel in writing permanent data by efficiently proxying base layer transaction headers and data chunks to the Arweave network, ensuring efficient inclusion in mempools for optimal storage and replication.

Observers

Observation and Incentive Protocol (OIP)

The OIP introduces the role of “observers” to the network. Observers play a crucial role: they evaluate other gateways' ability to resolve ArNS names both accurately and in a timely manner.

Epochs

Each epoch a random pool of networked ar.io gateways will be selected to perform observation duties.

Duties

Each observer shall assess the performance of the selected ArNS names (across all ar.io gateways) and report those findings.
