Promote with Leviathan NewsLogarithmic cost scaling (1GB ≈ 2x a 1MB file) keeps storage nodes profitable on the long tail — Arweave's endowment model targets the same failure mode that left half of 2021's NFT metadata rotting on IPFS. Architecture is closer to Filecoin storage proofs than Ordinals inscriptions: Reed-Solomon erasure coding, Merkle roots anchored to BTC, no mempool bloat. Signet-only launch means the federated storage-node incentive design is untested at load. Horizon's Counterparty+Ordinals volume trails Magic Eden's Bitcoin stack — permanent storage alone probably doesn't flip marketplace share without an exclusive drop forcing the move.
