Followin news, on August 13th, tension reappeared in the Arweave ecosystem.The Forward Research team behind Arweave sent a lawyer's letter, demanding that a recently active development team in the Arweave ecosystem stop releasing new projects, which sparked community discussion.
The HyMatrix team immediately responded that the platform was completely independently developed, without using any Forward Research-related code, with all code fully open-sourced and built in a community manner, and will continue to advance the testnet as planned, inviting more users to participate.
The industry generally believes that this event continues the trend of division in the Arweave ecosystem. Since the scaling solution Bundlr was renamed Irys in October 2023 and the "fork" controversy erupted, the relationship between the community and development teams has become increasingly tense.
From Irys's independence to HyMatrix's emergence, competition in decentralized storage and computing is accelerating, and the ecosystem landscape may be about to undergo a new round of reshaping.
