Arweave Genesis Block to Be Sent to the Moon With Molecular Storage Tech

Arweave Genesis Block 将通过分子存储技术发送到月球

Decentralized storage network Arweave has announced an ambitious initiative to send its Genesis Block to the lunar surface, aiming to preserve it indefinitely. The Genesis Block will be transported using molecular storage data technology on synthetic DNA, and the data will be sent aboard a lunar lander on January 15th.

去中心化存储网络 Arweave 宣布了一项雄心勃勃的计划，将其创世区块发送到月球表面，旨在无限期地保存它。 Genesis Block将使用合成DNA分子存储数据技术进行运输，数据将于1月15日发送到月球着陆器上。

The Genesis Block will be stored as synthetic DNA, created by molecular technology company Iridia, and the data will be sent to the moon by LifeShip, a space exploration firm. The stable environment of the moon, free from Earth’s weather and natural disruptions, will ensure the data remains intact for millennia.

Genesis Block 将被存储为由分子技术公司 Iridia 创建的合成 DNA，数据将由太空探索公司 LifeShip 发送到月球。月球稳定的环境，不受地球天气和自然干扰的影响，将确保数据在数千年中保持完整。

A small metal pyramid inside the lunar lander will house Arweave’s Genesis Block, protected by Iridia’s advanced shielded nanotechnology. This molecular storage is designed to endure for millennia, creating a unique lunar archive for future generations.

月球着陆器内的一个小型金属金字塔将容纳 Arweave 的 Genesis Block，并受到 Iridia 先进的屏蔽纳米技术的保护。这种分子存储的设计可以保存数千年，为子孙后代创造一个独特的月球档案。

According to Sam Williams, the founder of Forward Research and Arweave, the Genesis Block marks the beginning of Arweave’s mission to preserve the world’s knowledge and history.

Forward Research 和 Arweave 的创始人 Sam Williams 表示，创世区块标志着 Arweave 保护世界知识和历史使命的开始。

“The Genesis Block is where Arweave’s mission to permanently store the world’s knowledge and history began. Early backers of the network in its 2017 crowdsale were able to choose a message in the network’s first block. Many wrote messages of hope and enthusiasm for where our community’s venture would lead. Today, nearly eight years and 12.3 billion pieces of stored data later, a surprising twist in the story: Their messages literally – as well as figuratively – went to the moon,” said Williams.

“创世区块是 Arweave 永久存储世界知识和历史使命的起点。该网络的早期支持者在 2017 年众筹中能够在网络的第一个区块中选择一条消息。许多人写下了对我们社区的事业将走向何方的希望和热情。如今，近八年过去了，存储了 123 亿条数据，故事出现了令人惊讶的转折：他们的信息实际上——以及象征性的——传到了月球，”威廉姆斯说。

Williams also highlighted how the project showcases Arweave’s role in exploring new storage technologies, like molecular storage, and expressed hope that Arweave would revolutionize data storage in a way similar to Bitcoin’s impact on ASIC computation costs.

Williams 还强调了该项目如何展示 Arweave 在探索新存储技术（如分子存储）方面的作用，并表示希望 Arweave 能够以类似于比特币对 ASIC 计算成本的影响的方式彻底改变数据存储。

“On a more serious note, this playful venture highlights something much more important: The use of Arweave in testing new storage technologies – in this case, molecular storage. Just as Bitcoin helped lead a dramatic reduction in costs for the production of ASIC computation devices, we have always desired that Arweave will do the same for data storage,” he added.

“更严肃地说，这个有趣的冒险凸显了更重要的事情：使用 Arweave 测试新的存储技术——在本例中是分子存储。正如比特币帮助大幅降低 ASIC 计算设备的生产成本一样，我们一直希望 Arweave 在数据存储方面也能做到同样的事情，”他补充道。

Buck Watia, Vice President of Product and Commercial at Iridia, also commented on the project, emphasizing their collaboration with Arweave and LifeShip in preserving important data for the future. He highlighted that Iridia’s molecular technology not only stores data but also preserves knowledge in a way that transcends the limits of time and space.

Iridia 产品和商务副总裁 Buck Watia 也对该项目发表了评论，强调他们与 Arweave 和 LifeShip 的合作，为未来保存重要数据。他强调，Iridia的分子技术不仅可以存储数据，还可以超越时间和空间限制的方式保存知识。
