Gateways facilitate base layer transactions and bundled uploads to Arweave, increasing upload reliability, performance and economies of scale. Files uploaded through an AR.IO Gateway are immediately accessible for use by downstream apps.

Apps and users can quickly find their data through an AR.IO Gateway. Whether its by querying the index for the data, or loading your decentralized app’s assets from the fast cache, the Gateway ensures apps have a fast user experience.

Observers

Observation and Incentive Protocol (OIP)

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.

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.
