One question I've always wanted to understand is that, despite the continuous development of blockchain technology and the booming trend of everything being on-chain, our core data is ultimately still tightly held by a few large companies. It wasn't until I delved into the decentralized storage solutions on the Sui network that I truly saw the possibility of breaking this situation.

To be honest, these projects are not just another token project; they are the long-missing infrastructure in the Web3 space. In the past, truly valuable assets like files, images, and data models have always been the weak points of distributed systems. Without a secure and reliable storage layer, even the grandest visions are just castles in the air.

Now, someone is directly addressing this issue. The solution is clear: leverage the high-performance characteristics of the network, use erasure coding to split and disperse data into fragments, and then distribute them across independent nodes worldwide. It sounds simple, but the effects are indeed significant—storage costs are greatly reduced, data security is substantially improved, and a single node failure or malicious activity cannot threaten the entire system.

The fundamental problem with traditional cloud storage has never been technical limitations but rather the power structure. A few platform providers monopolize data entry points, holding the pricing power and privacy rights. Decentralized storage at least offers users a second choice. And as an incentive layer, tokens connect users, storage providers, and node operators, enabling the entire ecosystem to operate autonomously without relying on sentiment or subsidies.

My view is that the next-generation internet that is truly user-friendly should treat privacy protection and data sovereignty as standard features, not just marketing gimmicks. Projects that still claim these are basic rights often find themselves ahead of public awareness. Those who recognize these opportunities early are usually able to seize the right moment.
