Data is not just a storage issue, but more importantly a trust issue. Recently experienced a decentralized data storage solution, and truly gained a deep understanding of what tamper-proof means. Manually verifying data proofs may sound a bit cumbersome, but it is precisely this process that made me realize the value of cryptographic proofs. By diligently checking step by step, you can ensure 100% the authenticity and integrity of on-chain data. This is the difference between blockchain storage and traditional cloud storage—transparency and verifiability become the foundational guarantees, rather than relying on platform promises.

At first, I also thought manual verification was tedious, but I later realized that this is the price of trust.

I've always said, trust is something you need to verify yourself; you can't just entrust your life entirely to the platform. --- Manually checking over and over is indeed tedious, but at least it gives peace of mind. This is what Web3 should look like. --- Cryptographic proofs sound advanced, but they basically mean you are in control—don't get exploited, and that's it. --- After exploring decentralized storage, I realized that cloud storage is essentially betting on the platform, betting that nothing goes wrong. --- As for tamper-proofing, true security comes from being able to verify yourself; relying on promises has already failed. --- Transparency becoming a fundamental guarantee really struck me; finally, someone explained this thoroughly. --- Complex? That's what we call assurance costs. Comfortable things often carry the greatest risks.

Honestly, I’ve tried the manual verification process. It’s tiring, but really satisfying. I no longer have to trust a big company, and this feeling is incredible.

This is the true spirit of Web3. If you don't trust, verify for yourself. It's much more reliable than those black boxes of cloud storage.

That's right, verifying it yourself is indeed troublesome, but it's also this hassle that makes it valuable.
