The word “narrative” is popular in the crypto industry. It originates from a sociological concept "metanarrative" proposed by the French philosopher Jean-François Lyotard, which is used to describe stories that serve as universal ideals and have basic legitimacy in political propaganda.
However, the encryption industry is increasingly misled by the concept that it seems that the "narrative" determines the value of a project, rather than the increase in production efficiency or improvement in production relations that the project itself can provide.
Since Hyperparallel Computing Network AO was released on February 28, it has mostly been interpreted as a narrative upgrade for Arweave. It allows Arweave to evolve from pure decentralized storage to "storage + computing" and become a member of Ethereum's killer lineup.
