Building truly decentralized compute networks requires equally robust decentralized storage infrastructure. You can't have one without the other. As Web3 applications scale, compute nodes need reliable, distributed data layers—not centralized solutions that reintroduce single points of failure. The architecture must align: decentralized storage, decentralized compute, all the way down the stack. Only then can we achieve genuine censorship resistance and data sovereignty.

That's true, but are there really any projects that have achieved it now? It seems most are still fooling themselves.

In plain terms, without reliable distributed storage as the foundation, decentralizing the computation layer is just nonsense. It's like the DAO incident in 2016—no matter how advanced the contract logic is, it can't withstand a bottleneck at the data layer. The stack must be aligned across the entire chain; otherwise, someone will eventually exploit vulnerabilities from the storage side to attack the chain.

It sounds good, but how many projects truly achieve "full-stack decentralization"? Most are still centralized storage wrapped in a decentralized appearance.

There's nothing wrong with that; calculation and storage must go hand in hand, or it's just a different flavor of the same old story.

To be honest, this set of theories sounds good, but there are very few projects that can truly be implemented.

To be honest, there are quite a few people who listen to this set of theories now, but there are very few projects that actually build such a full-stack decentralized infrastructure.

That's correct, but very few projects can truly achieve it. Most talk about full-stack decentralization, but in reality, they still rely on centralized services.
