# Arweave Server

This is the repository for the official Erlang implementation of the Arweave
protocol.

Arweave is a distributed, cryptographically verified permanent archive built
on a cryptocurrency that aims to, for the first time, provide feasible data
permanence. By leveraging our novel Blockweave datastructure, data is stored
in a decentralised, peer-to-peer manner where miners are incentivised to
store rare data.

# Contributing

For instructions on how to build and update the source, please refer to the [Development Docs](https://docs.arweave.org/developers/development/getting-started)

Extensive reformatting has been applied to the repository, to keep `git blame` useful and ignore the reformatting commits, use the configuration below after cloning the repository:
`git config blame.ignoreRevsFile .git-blame-ignore-revs`
