🚨 DECENTRALIZED STORAGE IS BROKEN UNTIL YOU UNDERSTAND REPAIR ECONOMICS 🚨
The true test of any storage network isn't day one; it's surviving node churn and partial failures. Most protocols fail this test because their repair costs spiral out of control.
Walrus attacks this head-on using Red Stuff, a 2D erasure coding protocol. The game-changer: repair bandwidth scales only to what is lost, not the entire blob size. This slashes the "dark tax" making systems uneconomical.
• Red Stuff enables self-healing repair proportional to loss.
• Protocol handles asynchronous networks where time cannot be trusted.
• Epoch change protocol ensures blob accessibility during committee shifts.
This moves responsibility shift from an operation gamble to a defined protocol. Availability via churn is the ultimate infrastructure test.
