Irys announced the testnet launch of its programmable datachain, the first layer-1 blockchain designed to integrate low-cost, scalable storage with EVM-compatible execution. With this launch, Irys aims to solve critical bottlenecks in AI.
Most blockchains you know—Ethereum, Bitcoin, Solana—are built for deploying smart contracts, processing payments, and executing code. But when it comes to storage, they’re inadequate: storage is limited, hard to access, and can be astronomically expensive.
Conversely, early datachains (blockchains optimized for storage) like Filecoin and Arweave lack integrated smart contract functionality, limiting their utility to basic storage solutions. As AI ecosystems grow, existing infrastructure needs more than these systems can offer in order to support the massive volumes of data required for decentralized AI agents, training datasets, and inference workflows.
“AI and blockchain are two sides of the same coin. AI can generate limitl
