The dilemma of data storage, you've definitely encountered it. Massive photos, critical documents—fear of loss and leakage. Today, I want to discuss a new solution approach with everyone.

The problem is clear: whether individuals or corporate organizations, data volumes are exploding exponentially. But traditional storage methods have put us in a bind—if we want sufficient security, costs are prohibitively high; if we want affordability, reliability becomes an issue. You can't have both.

The emergence of the Walrus protocol is precisely to break this deadlock. It is backed by a creative team and has received support from leading industry investment institutions, which indeed gives confidence in its prospects.

The cleverness of the technology lies here—it uses efficient coding algorithms to fragment data into multiple pieces, then disperses them across a global network of nodes for storage. To put it simply, it's like handing different parts of a puzzle to many people to manage.

The advantages of this approach are obvious. Security is paramount: a single node failure or attack cannot affect the entire system, after all, no one has the complete puzzle. Secondly, costs are significantly reduced. Since there's no need to store full copies in multiple locations, physical storage requirements and expenses naturally decrease, with industry estimates suggesting up to a hundredfold optimization.

What’s more attractive is its programmable feature. Data stored in the system can be managed and scheduled via smart contracts, opening up space for innovative applications. For example, with digital artworks, it can truly exist permanently and be flexibly invoked across various scenarios. This precisely addresses the long-standing issue of metadata loss in the NFT ecosystem.

In terms of ecosystem expansion, the emergence of this infrastructure could bring new possibilities to the entire blockchain application layer.
