Use Arkiv instead of IPFS #1754
Description
I was recently exploring Arkiv and feel it could be a better fit than IPFS for agent data storage within Warden.
Quick reasons:
1. Supports CRUD operations: Arkiv allows create, read, update, and delete functionality natively — something IPFS doesn’t handle well. This is especially relevant for Agents, which need to frequently persist and update state. For instance, an agent maintaining a user’s portfolio, logging predictions, or tracking evolving metrics can easily update those records instead of creating immutable snapshots each time.
2. Queryable data: Arkiv offers built-in querying capabilities (closer to a verifiable SQL-like layer), allowing agents to quickly search or filter through stored data. This reduces latency and complexity when reasoning over historical or contextual information.
3. Verifiable and transparent: All Arkiv data is cryptographically verifiable, ensuring integrity and traceability — key for agent transparency and auditability.
