Decentralized storage has been stuck in two issues—exorbitant costs and extremely low efficiency. Traditional solutions often require over 100 times data redundancy, and restoring data consumes massive bandwidth. This dilemma has been holding the entire industry back.

But Mysten Labs' technological solution changes the game. Their RedStuff protocol, using 2D encoding, completely breaks this deadlock, achieving the industry’s so-called "twelve nines" security standard with only 4-5 times replication factor. Even more impressive, data recovery bandwidth costs drop by an order of magnitude, allowing the system to quickly self-heal even if two-thirds of nodes go offline.

The key innovation lies in programmability. With Move smart contracts, stored data such as NFTs, videos, and AI models can be directly verified and traded on-chain, thoroughly solving the traditional storage system’s "data silo" problem—making data truly come alive.

There’s also promising real-world application. Generative video platform Everlyn migrated 50GB of training data, cutting storage costs by 80%, and integrated smart payments via Sui, significantly boosting efficiency. On the institutional side, Grayscale’s related trust products enable large capital to participate easily. Plus, with cross-chain compatibility, it can seamlessly connect with ecosystems like Ethereum and Solana, forming a virtuous cycle of technology, application, and capital.

As Web3 enters a data explosion phase, the value of such infrastructure becomes evident. Whoever can provide efficient, verifiable, and tradable data storage solutions will hold the core of the ecosystem. Whether for developers or users, this solution is worth paying attention to.

Wait, did Everlyn really cut costs by 80%? That needs to be verified. --- 2D encoding sounds complicated, but running with 4-5x redundancy is just crazy. --- Data is truly coming to life... To put it nicely, it depends on whether people are willing to buy in. --- Grayscale has already invested, now institutions are really starting to pay attention to storage infrastructure. --- 4-5x vs 100x, that gap really makes traditional solutions look bad. --- I'm not sure how cross-chain compatibility will actually perform in practice; it might just be theoretical. --- Direct trading of NFTs and video data? If this really works, the storage sector will take off. --- Losing two-thirds of nodes but still able to self-heal, this resilience is impressive. --- 80% cost reduction, but will Everlyn raise prices again next? --- Writing storage logic in Move contracts—haven't seen this approach before.

80% cost reduction directly? Now that's the kind of thing I want to see --- RedStuff's recent move is really satisfying; finally, someone dares to tackle the stubborn 100x redundancy issue --- I am optimistic about the programmable storage direction; data truly coming to life is what Web3 is about --- Everlyn's case somewhat illustrates the problem, but the cross-chain compatibility still needs to be seen in future performance --- The key is whether developers in the ecosystem will genuinely use it; otherwise, advanced technology is pointless --- The signal of Grayscale's entry is quite good, indicating that institutions are also placing bets --- A four to five times replication factor can meet safety standards? If this really works out, it will rewrite the industry --- It sounds good, but can losing two-thirds of nodes really recover quickly? I want to see real test data --- The pain point of data silos definitely exists; finally, there's a solution to directly confront it --- There are many selling points, but I'm worried it might just be another empty hype

Damn, the cost is cut by 80% directly? This is exactly what I want to see --- Is RedStuff really that powerful? Feels like we're about to get cut again --- The data silo has finally been broken, quite interesting --- This time it won't be another PPT dream, right? --- Everlyn's case still looks a bit real, let's wait and see --- Wait, is cross-chain compatibility really seamless? I don't believe it --- 4-5 times replication factor vs 100 times, this comparison is indeed fierce --- Here it comes, the spring of Web3 data storage is back haha --- Move contracts directly put NFT transactions on-chain, this idea is indeed unique --- Bandwidth costs drop by an order of magnitude, sounds incredible

Red Stuff Protocol sounds impressive, but whether it truly gains adoption depends on the ecosystem buy-in. Wait, cutting 80% of costs? Everlyn's move is pretty aggressive. I need to think more about 2D encoding; it sounds like magic, but the math is real. By the way, is Mysten really holding back a big move? Seems like their recent actions are quite frequent. The pain point of data silos definitely exists. If it can be truly solved, that would be great. Grayscale pushing trust products? Are they trying to turn Red Stuff into an asset? Interesting. Losing two-thirds of nodes and still surviving? That design is a bit outrageous; needs verification. Is the Web3 infrastructure race this fierce now? Feels like everyone claims to be the core lifeline. Cross-chain compatibility sounds easy, but doing it well is really hard. Let's wait and see.
