The permanence of blockchain data deserves way more attention than it currently gets.



Here's the thing—every transaction, every interaction, every movement on-chain leaves a permanent mark. Swaps, messages, token transfers...it all gets recorded. And once it's there, it stays there. Forever.

That immutability is both Web3's superpower and its blind spot. Most projects chase features and TVL, but few tackle the privacy question head-on. The ones actually building solutions for user privacy and data protection? That's where the real innovation is happening. Because in a world where everything is traceable, the ability to transact with confidence becomes the competitive edge.

The issue of permanent on-chain storage really needs to be taken seriously... Otherwise, a crash is inevitable sooner or later.

Haha, permanent storage has indeed been underestimated, but honestly, most people don't care as long as they can make money.

Permanent data is indeed a valid point, but everyone is competing for TVL, and only a few are truly working on privacy... This is probably the next big trend.

The importance of on-chain permanence has indeed been seriously underestimated. Many projects are just focused on competing for TVL; who is truly addressing privacy issues?

When it comes to permanent storage, indeed no one takes it too seriously... but once it's on the blockchain, it's forever, and that's the scariest part.

The issue of permanence... should have exploded in popularity long ago, but most people are still blindly chasing the trend. I'm truly amazed.
