What is AR?
About Arweave
AR is the native token of Arweave, a decentralized storage network that sells permanent data storage for a single upfront payment instead of a recurring subscription. Sam Williams and William Jones published the Arweave white paper in August 2017, launched a testnet in the fourth quarter of that year, and brought the mainnet live in June 2018. Arweave stores data on a structure its developers call the blockweave, where each new block references both the previous block and a randomly selected earlier block, forcing miners to hold and prove access to historical data rather than only recent state. The economic mechanism behind the permanence claim is the storage endowment: when a user pays to upload a file, a small portion covers immediate storage cost and the remainder enters a pool that pays miners over subsequent decades. The model rests on one assumption: that storage cost per gigabyte keeps falling faster than the endowment pays out. Filecoin competes in adjacent territory but solves a different problem: contract-based storage for a defined term, renewed or dropped, against Arweave's pay-once-store-forever structure.
AR tokenomics
Arweave capped AR at 66 million tokens with no mechanism to mint beyond that ceiling. 55 million AR were created in the genesis block in June 2018, and the remaining 11 million enter circulation gradually as block rewards, according to the Arweave yellow paper.
Maximum supply — 66,000,000 AR, hard-capped
Circulating supply — approximately 65.65 million AR as of November 2026, according to CoinGecko, leaving under 0.4 million AR still to be emitted as block rewards
Price — approximately $3.17 as of November 2026, according to CoinGecko
Market capitalization — approximately $208 million as of November 2026, according to CoinGecko
Initial distribution — 26.5% reserved for future project development, 19.5% private sale, 19.1% ecosystem development, 13% team under a five-year lock releasing 20% annually, 10.8% August 2017 pre-sale, 8.2% across two public sales, 2.9% advisors
Storage endowment — upload fees are deposited into a pool that pays miners over time, removing AR from liquid circulation as stored data grows
Consensus — proof of access, requiring miners to prove they hold randomly selected historical blocks, not only recent ones
Compute layer — AO, a decentralized supercomputer, launched mainnet on February 8, 2025 and writes its process state permanently to Arweave
What determines AR's value
Storage demand converts into locked AR rather than into recurring revenue. Every upload paid in AR moves most of that payment into the endowment, where it sits outside the tradable float, so growth in stored data mechanically reduces liquid supply. That mechanism is deterministic, and it is also slow. With about 65.65 million of 66 million AR already circulating as of November 2026, emission has almost stopped, which means the supply side of the thesis now depends entirely on upload volume rather than on any change to the schedule.
AO carries most of the demand-side case. Every process running on AO writes its state to Arweave permanently, so compute activity translates directly into storage purchases denominated in AR. AO reached mainnet in February 2025, and the unresolved question is volume: the case for AR rests on how many developers build processes heavy enough to generate meaningful permanent-storage spend. A market capitalization of about $208 million against a fixed 66 million supply prices in adoption that has not yet arrived at scale.

Sam Williams and William Jones. They published the white paper in August 2017, and the mainnet went live in June 2018.
Arweave's data structure, in which each new block references both the previous block and a randomly selected earlier block, so miners must prove access to historical data and not only recent state.
When a user uploads a file, a small part of the payment covers immediate storage cost and the rest enters a pool that pays miners over time. The model assumes storage cost per gigabyte keeps falling faster than the endowment pays out.

Open swapzone.io/exchange/arweave, enter the amount, and compare offers from partner exchanges by rate, time, and KYC label. Paste your Arweave address, send AR to the deposit address, and track the order.
No. The wallet address alone is enough.
The permanence model assumes storage costs keep falling, and demand now depends on upload volume, since emission has almost stopped.

The site experience was great. But choose your exchange platform wisely.
The site experience was great, as on previous occasions. I made a mistake, however, by choosing a different exchange provider, EasyBit, and the result was much worse than I was given to expect. Changelly was the best before and I will choose that option in future.

Unstaking ONT without having ONG
My problem was to unstake ONT in my wallet which I administrate with the Exodus software without having ONG for gas fee. The swapping function in Exodus is no longer available and they will suspend the support of Ontology soon. By means of the fantastic swapzone-node I was able now to swap TRX into ONG and receive the ONG directly at my adress of ONT-asset. So I was able to start the unstaking procedure. And one more advantage: The swapping of TRX to ONG and sending it to the ONG-adress was quite simple for beginners like me: I'm used to krypto ledger, but this was my first experience with swapping-nodes.
Great service with great support!
not so long ago I was looking for a service that allows you to exchange cryptocurrency quickly and effortlessly. today, when I once again decided to exchange usdt to eth - I wrote the wrong wallet, namely the wallet from the last exchange (incorrectly indicated the amount), to which the usdt should have been sent. after contacting support, I was almost immediately refunded, which I am very happy about! I recommend using this service! 100/100
Very competitive pricing and fast support - great!
I used swapzone.io over 10 times recently and never had an issue. In fact, I had once a visual bug of the swap interface when the funds were sent but it was correct again the second I started a chat with support. In less than 2 minutes I had a very friendly employee talking to me. Very competitive pricing and fast support.
everything was fine
i successfully exchanged currencies. it took just a couple of minutes
everything is in one place
I'm new to cryptocurrency, and I'm always frightened by the choice of services. I really liked that everything is in one place here, and you can choose from familiar names and compare prices between them. The exchange took place fast and without any problems.
I tried swapping nearly $1000 worth of
I tried swapping nearly $1000 worth of bitcoin with the cake app four different times this evening and it wouldn’t work. Thankfully, their support was able to give me my money back quick and I was able to come here and I found an even better rate than what I got with cake. This will probably be my new go to crypto swapping platform. 100 out of 10 recommend and you can order with confidence :-)

Easy to understand terminal, quick transaction. A bit of slippage on promised rate compared to what received - not sure why, as prices haven't changed by that percentage.

I wanted to share my experience after encountering a failed transaction earlier today. I contacted support, and the team was incredibly fast in getting back to me. They understood the problem immediately and helped me through the recovery process efficiently. It's situations like this that really show why prompt customer service is essential on an exchange. The quick resolution meant I didn't have to worry for long. Your help was much appreciated!

Honestly in this industry it’s hard to fbb in f great costed service but Liam at swapzone handled an issue for me and solved it and no bs just helping me out. Thank you. My first time using swap zone to swap crypto was great and I’ll be back now .
Read this carefully
Works every time and helps to find the best deal. Is what I would say if I wanted to leave regular review. What I am going to say is that this service is unmatched in crypto sphere how they handle their business. I sent crypto to a swap in 2 transactions instead of one(my mistake) and when I opened the chat and explained my issue they contacted the parter doing the swap and gave me option to get a refund or continue with the swap at the current rate. Others would just keep it of tell you its lost. So not only they help you find the swaps but they act as a liaison if there are issues.
perfect service
perfect service. great support. I can wholeheartedly recommend this service. The support is fast, helpful, and solution-oriented. You won't find that with other Exchange services. A++++ thanks
