The ecosystem of game Mod creation is facing an awkward reality—creators' fate is entirely controlled by centralized platforms like Steam and Nexus Mods. Accounts get banned, and the hard-earned appreciation and download data are wiped out instantly. This risk makes many creators feel uneasy.

Is there a way to truly return Mod ownership to creators and players? Decentralized storage protocols offer a new approach. Through such solutions, creators can package Mod files into data blocks and upload them. The system automatically generates a hash based on the file content as a unique identifier. The clever part of this design is— as long as the file content remains unchanged, the ID stays the same, naturally enabling deduplication.

The speed at which players access Mods is also not a bottleneck. These protocols often use efficient distributed acceleration algorithms, supporting multi-node parallel transmission, providing an experience that is no worse than traditional CDNs.

Even more interesting is the ownership verification mechanism. The rights to create Mods can be validated through object records on the blockchain. Creators can even set up version flows, with each update automatically appended to the chain's history, forming a complete version chain.

This is no longer just a download site. It becomes a public infrastructure for the player community. Even if the game’s official developers cease maintenance, as long as the community continues to pay for nodes and keep the network running, these Mods can stay online forever, allowing the game's ecosystem to continue infinitely. This is true community ownership.
