As a tech enthusiast who has been involved in this industry for many years, I always have mixed feelings about the "storage track."
Early storage projects had grand ambitions, but frankly, the limitations of their technical architecture were obvious. Simple multi-replica copying models resulted in prohibitively high costs, making them unfeasible for real commercial scenarios. It wasn't until recently, after delving into the technical solutions of a leading decentralized storage project, that I saw hope.
This project's approach is completely different from those old-fashioned storage logic—it's pushing the "Erasure Coding" technology to the extreme. The principle is actually simple: break the file into fragments, and only a small part of them is needed to restore the complete data. What does this lead to? Under the same security guarantees, storage efficiency is several times higher than traditional solutions, and costs are significantly reduced.
What does this mean? It means real commercial competitiveness. Large-scale Web3 adoption will never happen because of "idealism," but only because it's "more user-friendly and cheaper." What we're doing now is lowering the cost barrier of decentralized storage to a level that even Web2 developers will find tempting.
My observation is that the current market severely underestimates the moat built by "technological efficiency." Among a bunch of storytelling projects, this one focuses on mathematics, coding, and tangible efficiency—simple things are often the most powerful. This technical route is worth paying attention to.
