The growth story from "small" to "big"
What did @irys_xyz do in the early stages?
Irys is not a project built in the short term.
Founder "Josh" mentioned in a tweet that as early as 2021, a goal was set:
Optimize user experience, abbreviated as UX.
At that time, the Arweave ecosystem was facing clear UX bottlenecks—slow uploads and lagging interfaces.
Irys intervened in a simple yet powerful way, allowing the first five projects to quickly test and integrate through a simplified interface.
The accumulated reputation subsequently attracted over 200 projects to join one after another.
So the clearest goal is to make users feel that it is simple and practical, far surpassing self-promotion of technology.
This reflects that startup projects should not develop in isolation; they need to quickly iterate their tech stack through open-source contributions or ecosystem optimization, building credibility for future development.
Beware of "technology for the sake of technology."
The value of innovation lies in responding to the actual needs of the market.
Since our beginning in 2021, we focused on building the best product UX in the datachain space.
This started with helping Arweave's datachain scale from 5 to 200 crypto projects through greatly improving its UX.
Now we're taking our own L1 datachain and applying these same principles to grow––not just within crypto––but everywhere.
