Why the models rank Arweave — on best decentralized storage
“Strongest option for permanent public data, offering one-time payment, content-addressed verifiability, durable publishing, and a mature gateway and application ecosystem”
Why the models rank Filecoin — on best decentralized storage
“The category's flagship — by far the largest verifiable storage network (exbibyte-scale committed capacity), cryptographic storage proofs (PoRep/PoSt), FVM programmability, and a mature onramp layer (Lighthouse, web3.storage, Storacha) plus improving retrieval markets that have closed much of the old usability gap by 2026; best default when you need auditable, at-scale, censorship-resistant storage. Near-tie with Storj at the top — Filecoin wins on scale/verifiability, Storj on plug-and-play latency.”
