Why hasn't blockchain application exploded yet? Many people point the finger at TPS, but there's actually a more painful issue that is often overlooked—exorbitant data storage costs.

Recently, I looked into some infrastructure projects and found one with a pretty unique approach. It’s not your usual path. It uses erasure coding technology to handle unstructured data storage, especially for large files like images and videos. The core idea is simple: through redundancy encoding and distributed storage, it can ensure data security while significantly reducing costs. In other words, making decentralized storage less money-burning.

Think about why SocialFi and full-chain gaming haven't been widely adopted yet. One of the deadlocks is the insanely high cost of storing user-generated content. An NFT avatar, a video PFP, a game screenshot—storage fees could be enough to deter small users. If this cost can be lowered, the overall ecosystem’s activity could see a qualitative leap.

That’s why low-cost data containers like this are not just a bonus but a necessity. The market isn’t short of projects that run fast; what’s missing is those that lay a solid foundation. When the underlying technology is stable, the upper-layer applications can truly explode.

For those who understand the technical logic, infrastructure projects that solve real problems are worth paying long-term attention to.
