The Atomic Asset Migrator is live! Connect your wallet to find Legacynet Atomic Assets from old profiles and UCM activity, then migrate them to mainnet. This tool creates a new AO mainnet asset record pointing to the same artwork already stored on Arweaveβ€”no re-uploading the art. arweave.net/JHR-xjCO8xEwIXFz…

Realtime(ish) version. Still far slower than reality, because it is otherwise imperceptibly fast. A test yesterday showed the lookup surfacing every single .png file on the weave in under a second, local-only on a laptop.

Let's take a moment to understand the permaweb's pointer layer: Permaweb Names, carriers, and references. Each plays a distinct role in how content is addressed, updated, and owned. 1/5

Thousands of POAPs, preserved through decentralized infrastructure end to end. Uploaded via AO bundlers on HyperBEAM, stored permanently on Arweave, verifiable from submission to retrieval. This is what the Permaweb stack was built for.
Every POAP's art and metadata, from 2014 to 2026, is now stored forever on Arweave. Browse the permanent archive, and pull the data from Arweave to build your own explorers and tooling: The explorer: 389359156238k.arweave.net/ The data: 389357275212728.arweave.net/…

The sun has set on LegacyNet, dawning PermawebOS. The AO token moves to HyperBEAM with verifiable state via [email protected], real-time yield via [email protected], and native AR/AO swaps via [email protected]. First on the new rails: Permaweb Names. xitter.cf/aoTheComputer/status/2…

Routers turn AO from a collection of computers -> a decentralized network. A single gateway -> the gateway mesh. With the gateway stack migration complete, we're looking at how requests reach the right node. This enables a fully decentralized permaweb. xitter.cf/aoTheComputer/status/2…

After a year of building, here's the first public demonstration of AO Core. 60+ composable devices. Every state addressable and remixable. Your URL bar as programmable, verifiable infrastructure. @samecwilliams walks through the PermawebOS, the complete decentralized web stack, trustless, in one box. Show don't tell.

Milestone 3: Complete βœ… After nearly a year of development, AO mainnet is fully operational. Almost all legacynet computation has migrated to Hyperbeam -- more efficient, more decentralized, fully verifiable. @samecwilliams breaks down what we built and what comes nextπŸ‘‡ w/ @mil_itia

The problem: On Ethereum/Solana, users pay gas. Every. Single. Time. @samecwilliams explains how AO solves this: teams can subsidize compute for users without sacrificing decentralization or verifiability. Free UX. Trustless infrastructure. Finally. w/ @mil_itia

Latest update with @samecwilliams covers some critical infrastructure developments: πŸ‘‰ @OdyseeTeam integrating video data into HyperBEAM for distributed caching πŸ‘‰ HyperBEAM nodes as decentralized bundlers (finally trustless) πŸ‘‰ The math behind permanent storage guarantees 'HyperBEAM is an app store' might be the best metaphor yet via @mil_itia

πŸ” We’ve extended HyperBEAM with GPU attestation support! Now, every message and AI inference can run securely inside a GPU TEE β€” verifiable, trustless, and built for scale.

The year is 2025. - You don’t own your money. - You don’t own your content. - You rent everything from gatekeepers. Bitcoin is how we fight back. Arweave is how we remember it.
Thank you New York Times for one of the best pieces of marketing for bitcoin this year
