Arweave (AR), a blockchain project concentrating on providing users with decentralized storage solutions, has experienced notable fluctuations in its price alongside recent bullish trends.
In the past week alone, the token has surged by over 105%, and on a monthly scale, it has witnessed a price increase of more than 274%.
Arweave's Momentum Shift
After peaking at $91 in November 2021, Arweave's price embarked on a prolonged downtrend. Throughout 2022, Arweave's (AR) price trajectory trended downward, slipping below $30 in February and hitting a 52-week low of $7.21 in June, where it stabilized.
However, a turning point emerged in August and September 2023, marked by significant events such as Community Labs injecting $30 million into Arweave's platform. This injection resulted in a modest increase in price.
Recent Price Surge
On Feb. 28, the price of Arweave (AR) skyrocketed by more than 40%, climbing from its opening price of $19 to hit a peak of $27.
This surge continued an upward trajectory that commenced on Feb. 3, when AR dropped to a low of $7.80, marking an impressive 247% surge to the current high.
Factors Behind the Surge
The remarkable price surge within less than 30 days can be attributed to several factors. Arweave, recognized for its decentralized storage solution, operates on AI-enabled blockchains. With over 3.2 billion transactions recently processed, it has garnered significant attention from investors.
According to Crypto News, the recent price uptick might also be linked to introducing Arweave AO, an initiative to enhance the protocol's scalability and computational capabilities.
Advanced Computing Framework
One of Arweave's co-founders, Sam Williams, unveiled the Arweave AO protocol as an advanced computing framework. Its goal is to facilitate parallel executions for proof-of-stake computations and meet the growing demands of social media and AI applications on the blockchain.
A Crypto Briefing report states that Arweave is entirely compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) and also accommodates blockchain protocols utilizing the WebAssembly binary instruction format for smart contracts.
The protocol has efficiently managed substantial data and is currently testing to enhance scalability. At the time of writing, AR is trading at $31.65, marking a 22-month-high.
