Short explanation guide for newbies.

Hello all, in this short post I will tell you about a promising project KYVE and how you can help it develop now.

Core idea

KYVE is an initiative to store any data stream, with built-in validation. By leveraging the Arweave blockchain, KYVE can permanently and immutably store this data. Other words, building of decentralized data lake. You can see the process more clearly in the brief diagram below.

The network is powered by decentralised uploaders and validators. These nodes reside in pools, each pool focusing on archiving a specific data stream.

Nodes are incentivised by a unique staking system, which involves them locking their $KYVE tokens while being active in the pool. Validators will vote on whether the designated archiver is properly doing its job — sounds like community organized decisions. And this is a good way to show up your skills in testnet that just launched.

So, now talk about what can you do now for the project.
