Arweave
Arweave is a permanent decentralized data storage network that enables developers to store data forever with a single upfront payment. It provides REST and GraphQL APIs for uploading data, querying blocks and transactions by tags and metadata, retrieving wallet balances, and accessing the permaweb data ecosystem. The network uses the AR token for storage fees and supports bundled uploads via the Turbo service with fiat and multi-chain crypto payment options.
Arweave publishes 7 API contracts indexed on the APIs.io network, including Account API, Pricing API, Service Info API, and 4 more. Tagged areas include Decentralized Storage, Blockchain, Permaweb, Web3, and Data Storage.
The Arweave catalog on APIs.io includes 1 JSON-LD context and 1 Spectral governance ruleset.
Arweave’s developer surface includes engineering blog, documentation, getting-started guide, and 17 more developer resources.
Kin Score
Markets this provider is in provisional
The Kin Score Market layer reads a provider inside its market: its position, and how deep its integrations go. Depth is only comparable within a position. Provisional and unweighted: not part of the Kin Score or agent readiness.
| Market | Position | Depth | Registered MCP server | Declares compatibility |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Browser Extension Stores (company-published Firefox add-ons; Chrome Web Store unreadable) | standard | 34.5 (thin) | - | 1 |
Registered MCP server and declares compatibility are report only — not weighted. Undeclared means we found nothing we can read, so there is no number: we never infer integrations.
Standards implemented 2
Standards this provider implements or carries. De facto ones are profiled and measured by the API Commons; formal ones come from the standards directory and are linked by the provider's own tags. The evidence column says how each claim was established — not that it was made.
