I wonder if any of you have experienced this kind of trouble—having to renew cloud storage every year, and data security still depends on big corporations' moods. What if they just freeze your files with a single notice?

That's why I've been paying close attention to the decentralized storage sector lately. The Walrus Protocol project is very interesting; it uses Red Stuff erasure coding technology to break through the bottleneck of traditional distributed storage. What does that mean—even if 2/3 of the nodes in the network go offline simultaneously, your data remains intact. This kind of redundancy design is a qualitative leap in storage security.

Why does this direction have potential? A few solid points:

First is cost. Compared to centralized cloud services, on-chain storage is much cheaper. For developers and AI model training teams, this can significantly reduce infrastructure costs. Second, backed by the high-performance public chain Sui, the speed of storage operations and user experience are not issues. Lastly, the $WAL token is not just for payments; it can also be staked for rewards, providing early participants with certain incentives.

Honestly, as AI models and big data applications become more common, it’s only a matter of time before decentralized storage shifts from a "concept" to a "necessity." Don’t always focus on meme coins; infrastructure projects supported by hardcore technology are often overlooked.

What do you think? Do you believe storage projects like Walrus can become industry leaders?
