🚀 Is data going to cheat too? Irys allows on-chain files to make money by themselves! Yes, you read that right. Storing data is no longer just about putting it on a hard drive; it can now run, share profits, and act on its own. In the past, Arweave and Filecoin were more like "lazy hard drives": storing data without any activity. Want to make money? Not happening. They help you store memories but can't make that data work for you. @irys_xyz's approach is like giving files an AI brain. Uploaded data can execute logic, automatically distribute royalties, and control access permissions, as if each file has its own consciousness. Developers just need to adjust the SDK to let the data run processes by itself, without worrying about cross-chain issues. The underlying mechanism is also clever: layered storage + Ingress Proofs ensure unique replication and stable costs; IrysVM allows on-chain logic to execute natively, enabling AI models and datasets to interact and generate revenue automatically. The next step in the storage race isn't about who is cheaper, but about who can make data work and earn money by itself. From Arweave to Irys, this isn't just a technological iteration; it's a mindset upgrade—transforming data from a static asset into an active economic entity. #Yappers @Galxe #Starboard @cookiedotfun @irys_xyz
