In the crypto ecosystem, most technological promises are often unfulfilled, but mathematical laws can never be lied about.
The core competitiveness of the Walrus protocol lies in its unique technical solution—the Red Matter Encoding System. This scheme completely redefines the logic of decentralized storage.
Traditional distributed storage solutions (like IPFS) use the most straightforward and brute-force approach: copying a 1GB file ten times and dispersing it across 10 nodes to prevent data loss. What is the cost? The network redundancy reaches up to 10 times, resulting in astonishing resource waste. In an era of explosive data growth, this design is indeed impractical.
Walrus's approach is entirely different. Instead of replication, it fragments files through algorithms and generates mathematical verification codes. The cleverest part is that only a small portion of the fragments in the network is needed to accurately restore the original file—zero loss, 100% accuracy. This means that even if one-third of the nodes in the network fail, your data remains intact and unscathed.
Cost reduction directly translates into economic benefits. Saved storage space equals real money, and this is the true support for the token's value. While other projects still rely on inflation to incentivize miners, Walrus has already pushed storage costs to the limit through technological innovation. This is why it has the capacity to absorb large-scale Web2 application migrations. This is not just an advancement in storage technology; it’s an algorithmic optimization that crushes brute-force solutions.

The red substance coding system really has some substance; finally, someone has called out the inefficient IPFS solution.

The red substance coding is indeed impressive, but it's still too early to say until the day Web2 undergoes large-scale migration.

The red substance coding system sounds good, but how many are actually implementable? Let's see how long the mainnet has been running first.

The red substance encoding system is essentially a mathematical error correction code, and Walrus has wrapped it up very nicely. The IPFS 10x redundancy approach is indeed a hardware-intensive method, and this idea can save costs. However, whether it will work in practice remains to be seen. Let's wait and see.

The name "Red Matter Encoding" sounds like something out of a science fiction novel... but math really doesn't lie, I agree with that. I've already criticized the IPFS scheme of copying 10 copies long ago. Now seeing Walrus redo it with erasure coding at a much lower cost, no wonder people are optimistic.
