lately, iβve been quietly working on data infra for dealing with flaky data sources (like Farcaster data and blockchain dataβ¦this isnβt a dig at Farcaster by any means; itβs just the nature of consensus-based protocols in general) this stuff is non-trivial to get right because intermittent and complete failures of data providers are guaranteed, especially in times of massive usage and network congestion we are and will continue experiencing robust data access patterns and thorough fallback strategies are absolutely essential to have any chance of creating reliable systems in these sorts of environments, especially if your goal is to minimize latencies

its actually a huge deal, getting my first big boy taste of it today just checking data that is easy to pull from the chain against data that is simply too hard to get from the feed. need to bring these realms closer together, extremely important

tl;dr back to @downshift.ethβs OP - Arweave data is immutable because it incentivizes replication. uploaded data is chunked & hashed, ensuring data integrity. data can be retrieved through the nodes directly but is more easily retrieved through gateways that can index/cache data that is most important to that app/community
