Permaweb Pioneers

Permanent Data Solutions COO, Jonathan Policke

Episode Summary

PDS is behind some of the most important Arweave infrastructures in the ecosystem. Jonathan has been directly involved with key decisions on not only the operations involved, the logic and incentive models as well.

Episode Notes

There's an energy in the air with regards to Arweave and now AO Computer, and Jonathan Policke, COO of Permanent Data Solutions, is right in the middle of it in the best ways. Permanent Data Solutions is the parent company behind projects like ar.io, which provides a decentralized gateway service to access data on Arweave. In addition to this, they run arweave.net, a massive gateway which handles huge amounts of traffic and load. 

In addition to gateways as mentioned above, PDS Inc. is behind ArDrive, which continues to be a staple in the onboarding process into the Arweave ecosystem. ArDrive provides a Dropbox-like interface to Arweave. PDS doesn't stop there; with file organization protocols, and now a massive bundler, there's so much to talk about, and Jonathan was kind enough to give us the opportunity to explore these topics in-depth. Enjoy!
