ANS is migrating to ao
The Arweave Name Service (ANS) was launched as the first human-readable address protocol on Arweave in February, 2023. Since that launch, 2 years ago, over 1,300 users have registered more than 2,000 domains and helped us gain the traction needed to be integrated in a range of Arweave ecosystem apps like ViewBlock, everPay, and Arweave-compatible wallets. We had a lot of fun building in the wild west of Arweave in its pre-ao days, but it's time for ANS to make the switch for the sake of ...

WeaveVM: the hyperscalable EVM protocol on Arweave
WeaveVM (WVM) is the first EVM-compatible protocol engineered to manage complex, large-scale data computation without the high gas fees typically associated with on-chain state storage on EVM chains. WVM is also the first EVM-compatible protocol that fully relies on Arweave for permanent storage, enabling atomicity of executable EVM bytecode and data of any size on the same ledger. On the principles of VACP, we are building the hyperscalable, lazy-evaluated EVM protocol to compute data at any...

We are Decent Land Labs
Today marks a significant milestone for decent.land as we introduce a refined mission and new flagship protocol. Our journey started in 2021 with a vision to build social and identity primitives on Arweave. The first public app under the decent.land name – a way to create a permanent username on Arweave – evolved into ANS, and as the expansive web3 social landscape matured, we developed Ark Protocol. Ark enables identities from any chain to transfer their reputation into the Arweave social ec...

We're so close to the launch of Arweave Name Service (ANS) that we're able to give concrete dates and specifics about the protocol and the minting event for your new permanent identity.
If you don't know yet, ANS names are human-readable usernames representing your Arweave address. They're supported by ViewBlock, being integrated with ArConnect, and displayed by the Arweave social explorer ar.page.
Check out an example of an ANS user's profile here:

The first wave of ANS names was launched in 2022 and has been adopted by 581 users since. In the private beta, we airdropped to users of Verto ID, select giveaway winners, and early Ark NFT holders.
Since then, we've rebuilt ANS from the ground up (while migrating beta names to the new contract), and developed the first NFT and identity standard on EXM, a smart contract engine on Arweave.
By using EXM and everPay, we made it possible to mint ANS names with instant transaction finality using AR, despite the fact that Arweave smart contracts cannot traditionally accept AR payment.
Thanks to EXM and everPay, we're finally able to come out of private beta and get ANS out into the wild -- and we're so excited to share more details with you.
ANS minting will happen in two phases:
Whitelist mint (10% discount, 1 week headstart)
Public mint
The whitelist mint is scheduled to go live on February 17th 2023, and will allow eligible users one week to mint names at a 10% discount before the general public.
The public mint goes live one week later on February 24th.
To be eligible to mint names during the whitelist period, we can currently confirm the following criteria:
Hold an ANS name from the private beta stage
Own an Ark NFT
Link your identities using Ark Protocol
Hold an everPay auction NFT
More criteria to be announced -- stay updated on Twitter
Meeting any of these conditions qualifies you for a spot on the whitelist, and we will announce more conditions in the coming days.
Interested in integrating ANS into your dApp and whitelisting your users? Open a ticket on Discord!
To prepare for the mint, make sure to deposit AR to everPay. This will mean you can mint as soon as the event goes live and not wait for network confirmations:

To give you an idea of how much to deposit without revealing full pricing, we’ll just say that domains are priced by character length, with the longest being the cheapest. Six-character domains will cost the AR equivalent of $50 for whitelisters.
Stay tuned. Join the Discord to be the first to see any further transmissions 🔮
