If Sui is understood as a "on-chain computing engine," then the distributed storage solution designed for large binary data is equivalent to its "data infrastructure."

The core innovation of this type of solution lies in adopting erasure coding technology, which slices data and disperses it across multiple nodes for storage. The benefits of this approach are obvious—even if some nodes go offline, data can still be securely recovered, while also avoiding the high costs associated with redundant storage across the entire network.

What does this mean for developers? First, dApps or Web3 websites can be fully hosted on the on-chain data layer, achieving a truly decentralized front-end architecture. Second, media files for NFTs no longer need to rely on centralized servers, ensuring storage security. Coupled with the composability of Sui smart contracts, it enables programmable data access and fine-grained permission control, extending the "code is law" philosophy to the data layer.

From a broader perspective, as more projects adopt such solutions to store core assets, the positioning of the Sui ecosystem will undergo subtle yet profound changes. It will not only be a high-performance public chain but will evolve into a "programmable world" woven together by code, assets, and data—where each layer is driven by decentralized logic.
