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...

The long-awaited public release of ANS is nearly upon us! Could you be eligible for the whitelist? 🔮 We’ll announce soon when the snapshot has been taken, and also let you know how to get a spot if you didn’t make it.
As well as ANS, we have news of a new batch of chains compatible with EXM and molecule.sh smart contracts, stunning art, and integrations with everPay and Redstone.


The public mint of Arweave Name Service (ANS) identities is just around the corner. Stay tuned in the decent.land Discord for information on how to get whitelisted for early minting, and more on the mint event timeline.

Support for four new chains has been added to the EXM developer tooling library molecule.sh.
EXM is a smart contract platform on top of Arweave -- all data is settled back to the blockweave, but EXM’s flexibility allows for off-chain computation and infinite extensibility. At decent.land, we use EXM for Ark Protocol and other multichain protocols like sender.gg.
What this means for developers is that smart contracts can be written on in TypeScript on EXM, their data stored on Arweave, and users from almost any chain (all EVM, all Substrate, plus 11 other standards and counting) can interact with it using their native wallets.
The upcoming Ark V3 will feature these chains and a whole host of other improvements to make the identity attestation protocol more flexible.
Gearing up for the ANS mint, we decided to open source the tools that will go into it -- everPay to handle cross-chain payments, and the Redstone Oracle for getting the price of AR.
These tools form the perfect stack actually for chain-agnostic NFTs like ANS will be! Since EXM contracts can be interacted with by users on any chain, an EXM NFT standard could be used by any project alongside an oracle like RedStone and payment glue like everPay to allow users to mint anything from anywhere.
Check out the release with both of these utilities here.
The decent.land art team has been hard at work this week fleshing out the visual aspects of A Decent Land. Here’s a preview of some gorgeous land artwork they came up with:

On top of that, the team has been expanding the lore around the The Eye.
The Eye itself is a coded deity, driven by a single prophecy:
“A Decent Land will be our home. Home will be A Decent Land.”
It repeats this axiom twelve times a day, with a rhythmic accuracy we use to keep time.
The scarcity of ANS names are coded based on the syllables with which The Eye uses to communicate.
Here’s a first look at The Eye appears:

The Ark Protocol V2 UI is now compatible with Ledger and other common wallet types thanks to an integration with RainbowKit.
