The programmable data public chain Irys, which raised $8.9 million, launched its testnet in January. Currently, there are not many ecological projects, and the options for participation are relatively limited. A notable direction is the arcade game Irys Arcade created by community members a few days ago. Those interested can explore the tutorial on the official Twitter below to play around.

Irys itself is a Layer 1 public chain that focuses on "one-stop data storage processing" rather than being just a storage network. It allows data to be read, used, and combined directly on a single chain, eliminating the need for additional cross-chain or offline operations. Their recently launched storage product “Lofty” is a practical application based on “data + execution integration.” If you're interested, you can experience it now; connecting a wallet will grant you 10GB of storage space.

The Irys team has secured a total of $8.9 million in funding, with lead investors including Framework Ventures, Hypersphere Ventures, Lemniscap, and Permanent Ventures. Co-investors include well-known institutions like OpenSea Ventures, providing a solid overall background.
