Still worried about file storage? Various cloud drives have restrictions, resources are blocked... Today, I want to discuss a hardcore project worth paying attention to: Walrus.



In simple terms, this is a decentralized storage network designed specifically for large files. Currently, in the Web3 storage space, storing small documents is manageable, but if you want to store high-definition movies, long videos, or gigabyte-sized data? Prices are high, speeds are slow, and the experience is frustrating.

Walrus has completely changed the approach:

**1. Truly Large File Foundation**

High-definition blockbusters, 4K footage, databases of hundreds of GB... Walrus's architecture is built for these "giants." It’s not just on-chain storage that can only hold web code; it genuinely supports "free file storage."

**2. Permanent Preservation, Unlimited Downloads**

Using sharding and encoding technology, your files are split and stored across countless nodes worldwide. No centralized administrator can delete them, and the platform cannot limit speeds. As long as the network exists, your resources will always be available, with full-speed downloads anytime.

**3. Extremely Low Cost**

This is the key. Walrus reduces storage costs to the extreme, meaning in the future, you can have a never-expiring, fully private cloud drive on-chain at a very low price.

From technical architecture to economic model, Walrus has been thoroughly considered. Currently, it is still in the layout stage, and this space is worth paying attention to.

Wait, can Walrus really have such low costs? That sounds a bit unbelievable.

Permanent storage + low cost? Sounds reliable, but I'm worried it might just be a concept rather than practical.

Really? An everlasting cloud drive? Now the cloud storage services should be panicking.

This time it's truly permanent storage, no need to worry about being deleted by some cloud service anymore. Wow, the cost is so low? It really feels like it should be shared among each node operator. I love the concept of free storage of files; really no need to worry about platform favoritism anymore. Wait, will there be fragmentation issues with sharded storage? Can the speed really reach full capacity? The deployment phase is already so aggressive; who knows what will happen when the mainnet goes live. This thing is just a lesson for IPFS.

A cloud drive that never expires sounds great, but I'm worried it might just be another PPT project.

Permanent storage + low cost, this is what Web3 should be doing --- Walrus has indeed figured this out, but how it will actually be implemented remains to be seen --- Free file storage? Sounds great, but I'm worried it might just be another PPT project --- Sharding coding technology is indeed good, the key is whether node incentives can be successfully implemented --- I've been paying attention during the early layout stage, it generally won't be too bad --- The price has dropped, what about speed and stability? Won't it just be a compromise product again --- Unlimited downloads are a bit of a game-changer; if truly achieved, it will definitely take off --- Centralized cloud storage should be crying; is the era of decentralized storage coming? --- Wait, who will bear the redundancy costs of sharded storage? In the end, it's still the users paying the bill --- This direction is correct, it all depends on whether the team is reliable

Permanent storage has indeed been a bottleneck for a long time. Walrus's architecture and ideas are quite clear. --- Honestly, cost is king. Can such a low price really break the monopoly? --- The technical details of sharded storage are quite interesting. Finally, a project is seriously working on large files. --- The cloud storage industry should have been revolutionized long ago. Looking forward to seeing how Walrus is implemented. --- True freedom of data storage? Sounds great, but I'm worried it might just be another PPT project. --- The deployment phase is actually an opportunity period. This track is definitely worth watching. --- The key point is the deletion restriction. Centralization and other issues are already enough of a hassle. --- Low price and low cost sound very tempting, but technical feasibility is what really matters. --- Hundreds of GB databases have always been a weakness in Web3. Finally, someone is taking it seriously.
