A hundred years from now, your great-grandchildren will want to dig out your youthful wealth-building notes—will they search through those shaky centralized cloud drives, or jump straight into Web3's "Eternal Archive" to retrieve them?
The current decentralized storage race is indeed a bit tangled. Filecoin is like an old warehouse—storing and retrieving things is painfully slow; Arweave, while stable, also requires paying the price for permanence each time. Over the past couple of years, both have become somewhat awkward.
It wasn't until the emergence of Walrus Protocol that the situation was truly broken open. It’s not just about storing more data; it creates a "breathing memory" for Web3.
**Why call it "Evolutionary Storage"?**
Traditional storage is dead—photos stored there just sit and mold. Walrus is different; it combines Sui's high efficiency to turn storage into a living resource. Its Red-Stuff encoding technology is particularly brilliant—breaking your data into pieces and dispersing them across the entire network of nodes. The most impressive part: even if two-thirds of the nodes in the network "go offline," the remaining fragments can still fully reconstruct the original data. This "never downtime" isn’t achieved by stacking servers; it’s purely the power of mathematics.
**Walrus Sites: Biological-level Eternal Websites**
This is the most eye-catching scenario. Now, if a website's server is not renewed, attacked, or crashes once, it immediately becomes a 404 tombstone. But websites running on Walrus are different—they are decentralized both front-end and back-end. As long as the global internet is alive, the website remains alive.
