Building for the Future of Decentralized Storage and Compute | Sam Williams, Arweave (#57)

In this episode of the DePINed Podcast, Tom Trowbridge sits down with Sam Williams, co-founder & CEO of Arweave, to unpack the economics, technology, and vision behind decentralized permanent storage and compute. 🧠 Topics we cover: How Arweave achieves near-perpetual storage using an endowment model that beats AWS costs over time The tokenomics that underpin Arweave’s long-term sustainability and value capture Why Arweave’s system is inherently trustless, ensuring data integrity without centralized control How Arweave’s unique model incentivizes miners to keep costs low while locking up tokens in long-term endowments The relationship between Arweave and AO, its decentralized compute platform, and why AI workloads are driving massive growth How Arweave competes with traditional cloud providers by delivering a more resilient and cost-effective solution Why the concept of permanent storage changes the way users think about data, information trust, and misinformation If you’re curious about how decentralized networks can provide real-world value while tackling some of the biggest challenges in infrastructure, this episode is a must-listen 🎙️ Don’t miss this deep dive into the DePIN revolution.
