What it actually costs to sell AR
Selling $100,000 of AR into each exchange’s resting bids, measured against the mid price:
| Exchange | Lost | Got back | Measured |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kraken AR/USD | 1.13% | $98,866 | 2026-11-04 |
Exchange figures need an account there (and KYC, a permitted country, the tokens already deposited), are before trading fees, and are never averaged with the on-chain figure. Binance is not included: it refuses requests from the region our servers are in. How this is measured →
Watch this number instead of remembering it. A free account keeps AR on a list, records where it stood the day you added it, and emails you if selling it on these exchanges gets materially harder — one message, not a series. The measurement itself stays public; the account is for being told when it moves without you looking.
What Arweave is
Arweave (AR) is described in its own materials as a data storage blockchain protocol built on a "proof of access" consensus mechanism, intended to make data storage permanent, low-cost, and censorship-resistant. The source material does not specify who built it or when it launched.
The protocol's stated mechanism is a one-time payment model: a user pays once to store data, and the network is designed to keep that data available indefinitely, verified through the proof of access consensus. The pitch frames this as a solution to what it calls a long-standing problem of decentralized data availability, positioning itself against a broader data-storage market.
What's available here does not independently confirm the "truly permanent" claim, how proof of access verifies long-term storage in practice, or what happens to data if the economics of storing it change over time — the source is a project's own description, not a technical specification or audit. CoinGecko files Arweave under a wide spread of categories — Artificial Intelligence, Smart Contract Platform, Storage, Layer 1, and DePIN — which reflects classification breadth rather than a settled identity for the asset. It also appears in the Coinbase Ventures, Multicoin Capital, and Andreessen Horowitz portfolios, which indicates venture investment, not a verification of the storage claims above. No information here speaks to supply schedule, token utility beyond payment for storage, or revenue mechanics.

Our own measurement · measured 4 November 2026
AR pays for storing data permanently on Arweave. An uploader pays a fee and a one-off contribution to an endowment, from which miners are paid over time for keeping the data. Its site says web apps can be hosted on the network this way.

About the asset
