Market consolidation period, instead of worrying about short-term rises and falls, it's better to look for truly research-worthy topics. Recently, security incidents have been frequent, and more and more people are beginning to consider the risks associated with asset storage—at this point, exploring the decentralized storage track might offer new ideas.
Today, let's discuss a direction that has been silent for a long time but is worth attention: a distributed storage protocol based on the Sui chain. Many people think "decentralized storage" is a overhyped concept once they hear it, but current technological iterations are indeed addressing the core pain points of early solutions.
**The true face of the problem**
Storing data on the Ethereum ecosystem is costly, and relying on centralized cloud services (such as large cloud computing platforms) means losing data sovereignty—once the service provider decides to delete data, users have no way to prevent it. A more realistic risk is that a large-scale hacking incident could trigger a chain reaction of failures.
**Differentiation in technical solutions**
The new generation of protocols leverages the low-cost, high-efficiency features of the Sui chain, combined with erasure coding (a cryptographic sharding technology), to encrypt files and disperse storage across thousands of independent nodes worldwide. This design results in several outcomes: even if hackers breach some nodes, they can only access useless data fragments; assembling complete files is extremely difficult; at the same time, storage costs are significantly lower compared to mainstream solutions.
This is not just a technological upgrade but a fundamental shift in storage mode—data itself becomes a highly redundant and tamper-proof asset. In an era where institutions and individuals are both concerned about asset security, the value of such infrastructure might be seriously underestimated.
