AR and FIL have multiple aspects of competition in the decentralized storage field:

Technical Level

- Storage Model: Filecoin is based on contract storage, where users pay for data storage over a period, and miners must continuously renew to ensure data persistence; Arweave, on the other hand, is a one-time payment for permanent storage, incentivizing miners to permanently save data through mechanisms like proof of access.
- Hardware Requirements: Filecoin mining has high hardware requirements, needing specialized mining machines, such as an 8-core CPU and 128G memory; Arweave mining equipment requirements are relatively low, close to a home computer, requiring only a 512G hard drive and 4-core 8G memory.
