### KYVE? what is it?

    KYVE allows developers and applications to store and retrieve any data stream. Fully decentralized, proven and efficient. Take a deep dive into the KYVE ecosystem and learn how to bootstrap your project with KYVE.
    
    KYVE is a web3 data lake solution, a layer 1 blockchain that enables data providers to standardize, validate and permanently store data streams.
    
    By leveraging permanent data storage solutions like Arweave, KYVE creates permanent backups of Cosmos SDK-based chains and ensures that these resources are scalable, immutable, and available over time.
