$IRYS in 20 seconds: “Data-first L1 where smart contracts can read onchain data directly.”
Why this matters
Most chains execute well but treat data as an add-on
IRYS aims to make storage + execution + data availability one integrated system

Key tech
IrysVM EVM-compatible → devs can use Ethereum tooling
Onchain data access during execution → apps can reference verified data without re-validating
Use cases to watch
AI model/data verification
Decentralized AI agents
Scalable data oracles / data-heavy dApps
Token utility $IRYS
Gas/fees, validator staking, governance
Fee burn → supply can decrease as usage grows still depends on real demand
