Sui network's transaction throughput is indeed impressive, but behind it lies a often overlooked bottleneck: the explosive growth of on-chain data often becomes the real ceiling.
Imagine the moment when full-chain games, SocialFi, and other applications truly scale up—where will all the massive images, videos, and user-generated content be stored? Storing them directly on the main chain would increase node burden and cause network congestion. This is the "data bloat" problem faced by many high-performance public chains.
This is also why focusing on solutions at the data storage layer is essential. Walrus uses erasure coding technology, capable of efficiently handling various unstructured data (Blobs) at low cost, which is not the approach of traditional storage protocols. To understand with an analogy: if Sui is a highway, then a comprehensive data storage solution is like a distributed network of logistics warehouses along the roadside—neither occupying main road resources nor hindering smooth business flow.
From an ecosystem development perspective, full-chain games introducing rich multimedia content and SocialFi applications storing user content all require such infrastructure support. Moreover, these protocol tokens often become the core fuel for data flow within the ecosystem. For investors seeking undervalued tokens, now is a great time to delve into understanding these foundational infrastructure tokens.

Data storage is really seriously underestimated. What's the use of high TPS if you can't store anything?

Data storage is indeed a big pitfall. Sui's lightning-fast speed is useless if it's stuck at the storage layer, it's all for nothing.

ngl the storage layer angle is solid but like... aren't we just kicking the can down the road? walrus doing erasure coding is neat n all but idk if it actually solves the path dependency problem here—sui's still gotta settle everything onchain eventually right?

Data storage is the real bottleneck, and Sui alone isn't enough.

Data storage is the real bottleneck; this perspective is quite good.

Data storage is truly underestimated. What's the use of Sui being lightning fast? Traffic jam is still a traffic jam.
