If you're not aware, another blockchain called Arweave is also
   purpose-built around preserving data for eternity via small payments in
   their AR currency.
   In summary, it works because miners need only store part of the chain,
   and are rewarded based on how much they store.

   It's still engaging growing pains here and there. Its primary language
   is still node.js and there are presently some gateway caching issues
   people are repairing this month.
   A group called "textury" have set up a set of systems on top of arweave
   which attempt to provide increased ease of use, reliability, and
   automation. A primary tool is arkb, which provides automated upload
   from the command line: [2]https://github.com/textury/arkb

   Here's the readme of arkb:
# arkb
Arweave Deploy that saves you data costs.

## Features
- No file size limit.
- No amount of files limit.
- Doesn't upload files that you have already uploaded.

## How to use
arkb runs using NodeJS and NPM. You must have both installed on your machine for
 it to work.

Install arkb:

```
yarn global add arkb # recommended
```

or

```
npm install -g arkb
```

> **Note:** The installation of arkb needs node >=15.11.0 or you will get an err
or when using `arkb`.  To manage multiple active nodejs, we recommend you have [
nvm]([6]https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm) installed on your computer, then you can
switch different node in a simple command.

And run:

```
arkb help
```

> **Note:** If you are planning to upload large batches of data transactions to
the Arweave network, it is *strongly* advised that you use the `--use-bundler` o
ption instead of regular deploy to avoid transaction failures. You can read abou
t bundles and their advantages on the [Arwiki]([7]https://arwiki.wiki/#/en/previ
ew/WUAtjfiDQEIqhsUcHXIFTn5ZmeDIE7If9hJREBLRgak).
