Irys
Irys is a blockchain that stores large volumes of data onchain, lets smart contracts use it directly, and proves it's still there over time.

What is Irys?
Irys is a data layer blockchain that provides storage, execution, and verification in one chain. It enables large volumes of data to be stored onchain, allows smart contracts to use that data directly, and proves it's still there over time. Originally founded in 2021 as Bundlr, the project rebranded to Irys and evolved from an Arweave bundling service into a full data layer blockchain.
