Complexity is just an appearance; usability is the future.

@irys_xyz Why has it attracted many well-known partners even before the mainnet?

I summarize it in 8 words: inexpensive and easy to use, stable and efficient.

IRYS is not a traditional decentralized storage project; storage is just the foundation, but rather a super infrastructure that can support the construction of large-scale applications:

Low-cost decentralized permanent storage + high performance of 100,000 TPS + scalable data programmability.

These features have made IRYS an ideal incubation platform for projects, increasing efficiency and reducing costs without adding complexity to the input.

The core innovation of IRYS lies in its programmable data chain architecture: on IRYS, data is no longer static, but rather combinable and executable blockchain.

This expands the direction of data extension, allowing for logic execution, transaction triggering, workflow automation, enforcement of ownership rules, integration with AI agents, and more, resulting in a richer range of application scenarios.

The main differences from traditional storage:

Dynamic vs Static:
Traditional storage solutions like Filecoin and Arweave, these established projects, only treat data as passive files that require manual renewal, or an oracle or cross-chain bridge to access.

IRYS enables data to flow and brings new value by directly embedding instructions, allowing it to generate more interactive value.

Unified vs Sharding:
Traditional blockchains store data dispersed across shards or off-chain systems, facing synchronization issues and delays.

IRYS is a unified storage and execution within an L1, achieving seamless composability.

Trinity Architecture (Storage, Consensus, Execution Trinity)
IRYS's "Trinity Architecture" integrates storage, consensus, and execution into the L1 network:

※ Storage Layer: Multi-ledger system, from submission ledger (temporary verification) to published ledger (permanent, verifiable storage).

※ Consensus Layer: A hybrid model that combines useful Proof of Work (uPoW) with a staking mechanism.

※ Execution Layer: IrysVM, an EVM-compatible virtual machine that supports native data-computation interaction.

Moreover, IrysVM is fully compatible with standard EVM tools, allowing developers familiar with EVM to quickly deploy on @irys_xyz.

Therefore, the complexity of @cn_irys_xyz will not increase the construction cost, which is its beauty.
