When it comes to storage, many people only look at the surface—just putting data in and that's it. But the problem is, once a node fails or data can't be read, all previous investments are wasted. I've seen many projects fail because of this: system crashes, users crying and pleading, and the development team helpless. Ultimately, it's about whether usability is truly guaranteed.

Honestly, I have a pretty positive view of projects like Walrus. The key is its use of erasure coding technology—that even if some data blocks are damaged or lost, the complete file can still be read normally, providing the entire system with sufficient fault tolerance.

But there's a reality here: users simply don't care how advanced the coding algorithms are. They only care about one thing—when do I need the data, can I get it immediately, avoid frequent timeouts, and not have to resort to backup routes.

How is genuine trust built? Rapid team response to failures, ensuring the access link never goes offline, automatic background repair of redundant data—these invisible but omnipresent details.

No matter how cool the technology is, it can't beat how smoothly users can operate it. The reason Walrus can give people peace of mind isn't because the algorithms are complex, but because, at critical moments, data access is rock solid.

So remember this— in the storage field, trust is the hardest currency.
