Web3 data storage has always been a tough nut to crack. As on-chain applications explode, games go fully on-chain, and enterprise digital transformation accelerates, the demand for distributed storage is no longer just a theoretical discussion but a real market pain point.

One project has set a very clear goal — not just to create a "decent storage solution," but to become the default data infrastructure for the entire Web3 world. Behind this ambition, the technical roadmap is also quite practical:

First is ultimate ease of use. Making it as intuitive for developers as using AWS S3, so as to truly lower the barrier to entry. After all, no matter how powerful the technology, if it's cumbersome to use, no one will adopt it.

Next is making privacy the default option. Not optional encryption, but verifiable private computation and storage as standard configurations. In the context of increasing concern over data privacy, this approach is quite smart.

Then is deeper integration with the main chain. Exploring complex data logic that coordinates on-chain and off-chain, supporting more complex application scenarios.

Looking at market opportunities, the explosive growth of AI data, full on-chain gaming, and enterprise digital transformation are driving decentralized storage demand to expand exponentially. If the project can truly achieve a cost advantage while offering programmable features, there’s a real chance to capture a significant market share during this growth wave.

Interestingly, the future of this project is jointly decided by the token-holding community. Through decentralized governance, the community not only participates in decision-making but also shares in the value generated by network growth. This model of co-creation, co-governance, and shared benefits is indeed more attractive compared to centralized projects.

Essentially, this is not just building a storage protocol but laying the foundation for the next-generation internet. If this track really takes off, early participants could have quite a lot of room for imagination.

Honestly, usability is the real bottleneck. No matter how good the technology is, if users can't use it, it's a zero score. Shared governance and sharing sound great, but it depends on how much real money can be distributed... The path of on-chain and off-chain collaboration is a bit ambitious, but it has to actually work in practice to count. The privacy-first approach definitely seems to be the right direction. Nowadays, who still wants to be completely transparent? The prerequisite for the track to rise is that costs can truly be reduced; otherwise, it's just a castle in the air.

Overwhelming cost advantage? Sounds good, but I'm just worried it might be another PPT advantage.

This guy has an overly idealized view of storage infrastructure. I do believe this is the right direction... but how to achieve overwhelming cost advantages? It depends on the specific execution.

To put it simply, storage is indeed the next hot spot, but whether it's reliable or not depends on real data.
