What happens when the servers then fail to provide that promise? Isn't the data lost?

  The idea is to incentivise hosting via crypto - with ARWeave, there's a bigger upfront fee but no ongoing fees. In theory, it's meant to secure 200 years of storage by putting aside most of the upfront fees for later and (conservatively) assuming storage costs decrease by at least 0.5% per year.

  If the servers do provide the proof, they get a reward, if they can't, they loose part of their collateral (also called stake).
