Permanent Decentralized Storage Landscape in 2023
summary
Compares Filecoin and Arweave head-to-head: Filecoin treats storage as off‑chain marketplace with IPFS integration, multiple node implementations (Go, Rust), ZK‑snark proofs and erasure coding, user‑selected replication and staking that creates extra demand; Arweave enforces protocol‑level persistence with a single implementation, RandomX CPU proofs, a 200 years and 20 replications pricing model where 95% of fees go into an on‑protocol endowment that tops up miner rewards if replication falls toward ~20. Notes seeding can fake reported totals and gateways (Infura/Pocket) handle retrieval.
