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.

The erasure coding set is indeed powerful, feeling like the cost is directly halved. But to be honest, whether the technology is good or not is the key, and those who only talk about stories really need to wake up.

Erasure coding should have been adopted long ago. The previous projects were really just burning money.

Erasure coding is indeed powerful; if the cost is that many times higher, it definitely has some value.

Erasure coding is indeed powerful; finally, someone has brought storage back from the realm of PPT presentations to reality.

Erasure coding is indeed awesome; the multi-replica approach should have been phased out long ago.

ngl, erasure coding isn't exactly breaking news... but the wallet clustering data i pulled suggests some serious institutional moves into this storage play over the past 6 weeks. transaction pattern screams deliberate accumulation, not random retail fomo. stayed skeptical until the math checked out though. blockchain evidence doesn't lie.

The erasure coding technology should have been popularized long ago. Compared to those projects that only make empty promises, this is the real deal.
