[ Walrus, we need to revisit this ] @WalrusProtocol If you search, you'll find various materials, but did you know that our country's top-tier research company @FourPillarsFP has an analysis article on Walrus? I'll link the article in the comments. ! Based on that content, I've reorganized the information about Walrus. Sui has created a sustainable data storage structure through a system called the Storage Fund. Thanks to this structure, when on-chain data is deleted in Sui, you can receive a partial refund, and storage fees are collected in advance to incentivize validators. However, among the on-chain data, there are small-sized files, but there are also large files (Blobs) like images and videos. For example, storing the original image of an NFT on-chain can guarantee its integrity, but if every node replicates it, the cost and capacity burden is significant. In fact, even before Walrus, there were projects like Filecoin and Arweave that aimed to store large data in a decentralized manner. However, these projects used a method where some nodes 'directly' replicated the files uploaded by users, leading to high storage costs and inefficiency across the entire network. Walrus is a decentralized storage protocol based on erasure coding. It utilizes the Sui network to manage storage nodes, record Blob metadata, and distribute incentives. In Walrus, large Blobs are divided into smaller pieces called slivers and stored in a distributed manner across nodes. This method allows for safe storage of large data even if the level of replication is reduced to 4-5 times. Moreover, Walrus employs a 2D erasure coding method called Red Stuff encoding, which significantly reduces the overall recovery costs for the network even if some data is lost compared to traditional methods. + The Walrus article from Four Pillars was released in November 2024. And the author of that article, @Steve_4P, had a 23% mindshare at that time. That's a figure that seems unimaginable now. Steve is currently ranked 2nd based on a one-year period. If you write good articles about projects like this, you can maintain your leaderboard ranking without much effort afterward. While initial positioning is important, I felt the need to practice writing good articles!
