Arweave File System, or “ArFS” is a data modeling, storage, and retrieval protocol designed to emulate common file system operations and to provide aspects of mutability to your data hierarchy on Arweave's otherwise permanent, immutable data storage blockweave.
Due to Arweave's permanent, immutable and public nature traditional file system operations such as permissions, file/folder renaming and moving, and file updates cannot be done by simply updating the on-chain data model.
ArFS works around this by implementing a privacy and encryption pattern and defining an append-only transaction data model using tags within Arweave Transaction headers.
