Arweave

name: Arweave
description: 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.

- name: Arweave GraphQL API
  description: GraphQL API for querying Arweave transaction and block metadata by tags, owner addresses, recipients, block
    height ranges, and transaction IDs. Supports cursor-based pagination and sorting. Primary endpoints are hosted at arweave.net/graphql
    and high-performance alternatives at arweave-search.goldsky.com/graphql. Use GraphQL to find transaction IDs, then use
    the REST API to fetch the actual data.
