Irys was previously Bundlr, focusing on on-chain data storage to help scale up Arweave. They have now launched their own L1 as Irys and are focused on creating the first L1 programmable datachain.

A datachain is a blockchain optimized for data storage, making it significantly cheaper to store onchain data than blockchains focused on smart contracts and financial use cases. Irys's data storage is highly-optimized and verifiable, enabling the IrysVM to utilize onchain data during computations. This makes Irys the first truly programmable datachain.
