A few days ago, @irys_xyz's official Twitter posted a very concise but information-rich tweet👇 1 billion data transactions processed The mainnet is coming While most projects are still celebrating tens of thousands of transactions, Irys has already validated a data processing capability at the billion level on the testnet. This is not just simple "volume running"; it is proving a core hypothesis: Data can be programmed and executed like code. 〰️〰️〰️〰️ Traditional blockchains either focus on execution (like Ethereum) or storage (like Arweave). What Irys aims to do is merge the two—allowing the stored data itself to trigger smart contracts, execute logic, and even guide AI workflows. 🎮 This design of a "programmable data chain" unlocks many new possibilities: ▪️ NFT metadata can be dynamically modified by AI tools ▪️ Game items can automatically execute royalty agreements across chains ▪️ AI Agents can directly read, manipulate, and write data on-chain 🌟 Moreover, their dual ledger mechanism is quite clever: The Submit Ledger is responsible for fast verification The Publish Ledger is responsible for permanent storage This ensures both speed and the immutability of data. More importantly, Irys is no longer just theoretical. Projects like Plena and Brickroad are already building businesses on Irys's data layer. Now that the testnet has completed 1 billion transactions, the mainnet and TGE are on the way. The future AI Agents will need not just computation, but also a trustworthy, programmable data layer. @cn_irys_xyz
