Did you know that Arweave has three core principles that the protocol was engineered to fulfill? These principles were authored by the team that created Arweave, and serve as a northstar to guide future evolutions of the protocol. Letโs dive into each of them!
1 - Permanently secure the world's knowledge.
This principle states that data permanence should be achieved with whichever economic method enables the highest assurance of sustainability, while keeping costs for data storage minimal to promote access and utility.

2 - Ensure the right to speech in cyberspace.
This principle states that anyone must be able to store data on Arweave for the minimal cost that ensures economic viability. The only moderation is that no other participant can be forced to store content that they don't wish to.

3 - Guarantee the right to listen.
The final principle states that by default, data in Arweave is stored in unencrypted form. While the ledger itself may contain cyphertext, access to data must always be maintained without restriction, enabling the widest achievable access.
