This week users added 500,000 ANS-104 DataItems to Load S3. Load S3 is a HyperBEAM-powered storage layer that holds data before it's committed to Arweave - and it just hit 1.5m items. 👉 Learn more about load-s3-agent v0.7.0 upgrades: https://x.com/useload/status/1986425520876093881

The #1 top requested Load S3 feature is here: a query layer for ANS-104 DataItems, unlocking tag protocols and filtering 1. get a load_acc key: cloud.load.network 2. use the s3-agent w/ tags 3. post dataitems 1:1 at any future time to Arweave 👉 check out the demo video: https://x.com/useload/status/1985665640334557479

Last month we looked at how Load and Walrus Protocol compare, but now it's time to dive into the app layer: Tusky vs Load Cloud. Both apps offer a familiar way to store files, organize folders, manage access and API keys - let's look at how they differ. 👉 Blog post: https://blog.load.network/load-vs-walrus/ 👉 Twitter/X post: https://x.com/useload/status/1985370146030985602

Nau Finance is launching a data stablecoin + the first lending protocol for the permanent storage economy. The GiB token is pegged to 1 GiB of storage on Arweave, built to lock in predictable costs and unlock capital efficiency for AR holders. 👉 Blog post: https://blog.load.network/load-nau/ 👉 Twitter/X post: https://x.com/useload/status/1983476543772053972

Load spotted in the wild on fractals.fun Fractals has integrated the load0 optimistic storage layer to store tokenized DePIN metadata. On the dev side: superfast EVM uploads with eventual Arweave permanence & immutability 👉 Blog post: blog.load.network/fractals-load0/ 👉 Twitter/X post: https://x.com/useload/status/1982855619041481166

Mask Network has added support for Load S3 in the latest build. Upload ANS-104 DataItems from the social platforms you already use, and post them encrypted. Want to make the same data permanent later? Load S3 has the built-in, powered by Arweave. 👉 Blog post: https://blog.load.network/mask-load-s3/ 👉 Twitter/X post: https://x.com/useload/status/1981720245094977953

Powered by Load's custom and canonical HyperBEAM stacks, OLTA is relaunching on AO. Interactive art designed for large-scale exhibition screens, working with Art Blocks artists. Coming soon to a gallery near you https://x.com/decentlandlabs/status/1981275882980299226

x402 payments for Base mainnet are now available in Load Cloud Platform. Create private payment-gated expirable links for ANS-104 DataItems, and get paid USDC on Base! 👉 Check out the demo: https://x.com/useload/status/1980980678624956450

In the last 30 days, Load has: + stored 385,000 DataItems on Load S3 + processed 600,000 L1 EVM tx + stored 25,313 bundles as a KYVE storage provider + risen to the #2 most delegated AO fair launch project + reached 600GB capacity on Load S3 🖥 moar: blog.load.network

Load mainnet is taking shape. This is the last layer of the onchain data center. Ultramarine enables native support for a HyperBEAM-powered blob store (Load S3). To put the economics in perspective: Settling a blob on Ethereum costs ~$1 Settling a _gigabyte_ of blobs on Load S3 is 66x cheaper Plus, we get the stability necessary for huge data throughput and a native ao compute integration. The future is alien 👉 Learn more about Ultramarine: https://blog.decent.land/ultramarine/ 👉 Twitter/X post: https://x.com/useload/status/1979177135420956989

Introducing the first private, payment-gated, temporary ANS-104 dataitems with x402 support. Generate sharing links to Load S3 data inside Load Cloud, and get paid USDC. Built on ao's HyperBEAM and the coinbase x cloudflare x402 standard. 👉 Blog post: https://blog.load.network/x402/ 👉 Twitter/X post: https://x.com/useload/status/1978454051919450341

How does Load S3's HyperBEAM-powerered temporary storage compare to layers like Walrus? In this article we look at the pricing, architecture, and philosophies of each. Load runs on a hybrid of ao-HyperBEAM, Arweave, and its own EVM network, offering either permanent or temporary storage with S3 compatibility. Walrus uses Sui Network for provenance and orchestration of storage nodes in its network with BFT consensus. Two very different architectures and alignments -- let's look at how they stack up: https://blog.load.network/load-vs-walrus/ 👉 Twitter/X post: https://x.com/useload/status/1977735301222064281

KYVE Network pools can now use Load S3 for storage. Data flows in as ANS-104 DataItems, with the same provenance and ID as Arweave's ANS-104. Hold data in a temporary hot cache and upgrade to permanence over time, without losing addressability. 👉 Blog post: https://blog.load.network/load-s3-kyve/ 👉 Twitter/X post: https://x.com/useload/status/1976231104748412994

Permissionless S3 is live! Now you can use Load Cloud keys to interact with HyperBEAM S3 using the official AWS S3 SDK. Generate keys on cloud.load.network, and use Load S3 in your code exactly like you'd use AWS. 👉 check the demo video: https://x.com/useload/status/1975194083304902727 👉 read more in details: https://blog.load.network/permissionless-s3/

Load's S3 storage layer uses Arweave's ANS-104 dataitems. Why? > cryptographic provenance > ID consistency between S3 and Arweave > interop with Arweave tooling Here's a deep dive into xANS-104 -- temporary dataitems in the Arweave pipeline. 👉 Blog post: https://blog.load.network/xans-104/ 👉 Twitter/X post: https://x.com/useload/status/1973040110284439706

Did you know Arweave has an onboarding agency? onboard.ar.io offers grants, implementation and marketing to partners looking to join the eco. Alongside their 100GB Arweave storage grant, we’re partnering to offer 500GB of monthly credits on Load’s HyperBEAM S3 layer. 🖥 Learn more: https://x.com/OnboardArweave/status/1972997253682876893
