Say goodbye to expensive on-chain storage! Why Walrus is the next essential in Web3? 📉
Have you ever thought about a question: where do the NFTs, GameFi items, and even images from decentralized social media that we interact with on-chain actually exist? If they exist on AWS (Amazon Cloud), can it still be called decentralized? If they exist on Ethereum, then the gas fees are simply astronomical. 🤯
This is the moment of @Walrus 🦭/acc entering the scene. Unlike traditional decentralized storage, Walrus does not require every node to store complete data. It uses advanced erasure coding technology to break large files (Blobs) into pieces and distribute them efficiently.
What does this mean?
1. Extreme cost-effectiveness: Storing GB-level data will become extremely cheap, making "full-chain gaming" and "completely decentralized social networking" a reality, rather than just a concept.
2. Lightning-fast retrieval: It's not just about being able to store data; the key is being able to read it out quickly. This is crucial for user experience.
3. Node robustness: Even if a portion of nodes goes down, your data remains intact and can be restored at any time.
If you're looking for the next infrastructure capable of supporting a large-scale Web3 explosion, you must keep an eye on Walrus. It's not reinventing the wheel in this crowded track; it's equipping the entire track with jet engines. 🚀
