Do you really feel comfortable handing over your passwords, certificates, and API keys to some centralized service? Honestly, that doesn't sit right with me either.
The thing is, centralized providers create a single point of failure. One breach, one mistake, and all your secrets could be exposed. That's a massive security risk that most people don't think about until it's too late.
This is where decentralized infrastructure comes in. Instead of trusting one entity with your sensitive data, you're distributing that trust across a network. Services built on networks like Sui are pioneering what they call "Secrets as a Service" - basically letting you manage credentials without surrendering control to intermediaries.
It's a fundamentally different approach: you keep the keys, the network keeps you secure. No middleman, no honeypot of centralized data. That's the kind of infrastructure Web3 should be built on.

Honestly, I never thought it would be this serious before... Looking back now, it's truly chilling.
The centralized approach should have been eliminated long ago. Who wants to entrust their assets and lives to a company's database?
Sui is definitely heading in the right direction this time, but I just don't know when ordinary people will be able to use it truly.
Oh my God, why did we just throw keys into centralized systems before? That's so outrageous.
Decentralization is the right way. Network security is a hundred times more reliable than manual operations.

Not following that approach—handing over the keys to centralized services is basically suicide.
---
Single point of failure is truly incredible; one employee slacking off can drain you completely.
---
Decentralized infrastructure is the right way; Sui's recent moves are quite interesting.
---
Keeping the keys in your own hands is more reassuring; intermediaries can step aside.
---
Exactly, honeypots are just waiting to be stabbed.
---
Agreed, the concept of self-managed credentials should have been popularized long ago.
---
Network security? It depends on how it's implemented; details make all the difference.
---
No intermediaries actually makes me feel more at ease; finally, someone understands.
---
This is what true Web3 spirit is all about—not that coin speculation stuff.
---
It seems most people haven't realized the seriousness of leaks yet.

It should have been like this a long time ago. The centralized system really deserves to die. Every time I see another major exchange getting hacked, I want to complain. It's still more reliable to control your private keys yourself.

To be honest, I learned my lesson from the FTX incident and will never trust anything centralized again.
