As we enter 2026, the Web3 decentralized storage field is still exploring. There are actually not many practical and stable solutions available.

Walrus Protocol's approach is quite interesting—using Red Stuff encoding combined with erasure coding technology to split large files into fragments. The key is that the redundancy is only 4 to 5 times, much lower than traditional solutions, yet data remains stable even if nodes go offline. This kind of design, which balances both fish and bear paws, relies on deep optimization of encoding algorithms.

Even more impressive is that it leverages the high throughput capabilities of the Sui blockchain. Sui itself can handle massive transactions, and when combined with Walrus's staking and governance incentive mechanisms, the liquidity and participation of the entire ecosystem can be enhanced.

From an application perspective, NFTs, AI training models, long video content, on-chain historical data—these are things that previously had to rely on centralized cloud services or had no suitable storage options. Now, there is finally a truly reliable destination. No more worries about cloud providers suddenly deleting data or running away. This combination indeed seems tailor-made for the data-intensive AI era.

Yo, Walrus's approach is actually quite interesting. Reducing redundancy from 4 to 5 times directly is much smarter than those schemes that often require ten or eight times redundancy. If it can truly stay stable, cloud providers will be panicking... but it depends on how it performs in practice.

Redundancy of 4 to 5 times can stabilize the system; this algorithm optimization has indeed been worked on. But the key is whether Sui's throughput can hold up. If Walrus really ruins the cloud vendor business model, that would be a big deal. Wait, could staking incentives be another new way for whales to harvest profits? I've been hearing about decentralized storage for years, but there are still very few that are truly used on a large scale.

Walrus this time really has some substance; a 4-5x redundancy is enough to stabilize the data, which is much smarter than those schemes that jump tenfold at any moment.

Redstuff encoding, right? This approach has been overdue. Storage has always been a weakness in Web3, and Walrus finally hits the mark. Sui's throughput combined with distributed storage really has some potential.

Wow, Walrus's encoding scheme is truly outstanding, with 4-5 times redundancy surpassing traditional methods. Walrus really has some substance... The combination of red cloth encoding with erasure coding keeps nodes stable even when they go offline, the details are meticulously refined. With both Sui and incentive mechanisms, this time it's a bit different; the ecosystem's liquidity can really take off. In the AI era, data piles up mountain-high, finally a place to store it securely. No more worries about cloud providers deleting data. Decentralized storage finally has some real work to do; before, it was all just empty talk. But whether it can truly be rolled out depends on more than just technology; the ecosystem needs to keep up. Honestly, it's much more reliable than the FIL scheme; finally seeing some hope.

Damn, red code erasure, this combo sounds pretty fierce? 4 to 5 times redundancy outperforms traditional solutions. --- It's Sui and Walrus again, so we still have to play this set until 2026. Can we actually use it first? --- Finally have a place to store large files without worrying about cloud providers running away. I believe in this wave. --- NFTs, AI models, videos... sounds pretty comprehensive, but I wonder if nodes will still go offline as usual. --- Decentralized storage has been explored for so long, and Walrus's approach is indeed a bit different. --- Algorithm optimization is intense, but the key is how many people in the ecosystem are truly willing to run nodes. --- Staking plus governance, another old incentive model? Can it really boost liquidity?

Another "ultimate solution" has appeared, and this time it's quite solid... Wait, the redundancy is only 4 to 5 times? How can it be so much lower than traditional methods without ensuring that nodes won't all go offline simultaneously? Even with algorithm optimization, it still feels uncertain.

Redundancy reduced to 4-5 times can still be stable; this optimization is truly impressive. But speaking of the Sui ecosystem, can it really support such high storage demands? It still depends on whether real applications can take off.
