Decentralized storage forms the critical foundation for building a genuinely distributed Web3 ecosystem. Projects focused on data blob management are reshaping storage economics—slashing costs while simultaneously enhancing network resilience and data durability. This infrastructure layer breakthrough represents a significant step forward in making on-chain data handling more efficient and accessible. The shift toward trustless, cost-effective storage solutions could accelerate broader Web3 adoption by addressing one of the sector's persistent bottlenecks: scalable, affordable data persistence. As the ecosystem matures, such infrastructure improvements become increasingly vital for supporting the next generation of decentralized applications.

To be honest, decentralized storage is indeed a piece of the Web3 puzzle, but has the cost issue really been solved?

Honestly, the storage sector should have broken through long ago. Those previous centralized solutions were really expensive and fragile.

Sounds good, but can it really reduce costs? I still think that chainlink's storage projects are way too expensive.

The storage layer's actual implementation depends on how the specific project proceeds. Merely talking about cost reduction and increased flexibility is meaningless.

Wow, this is truly a track with real imagination. Storage is the utility like water, electricity, and gas for Web3.

Basically, it's just rehashing old ideas. Decentralized storage has been around and being worked on for a while.

To be honest, whether these projects can truly be implemented depends on whether they have real users willing to pay. There are too many just shouting slogans about reducing costs. What I care about most is how much the costs can actually be reduced, not the kind of "theoretical" reductions written in papers.
