Is your data still circling in the hands of cloud giants? It's time to consider a change.

The Walrus protocol has done something interesting with a technology called Redstuff — breaking bulky data into lightweight Blob units and then tossing them into a decentralized network. It sounds simple, but what does it change? Storage is no longer a costly burden, and data sovereignty is no longer a castle in the air.

More importantly, it sparks imagination at the application level. Can the monopolization of AI training data by a few platforms be broken? Why must social memories have expiration dates? When Sui's efficiency meets Walrus's distributed storage framework, developers and users finally gain real choice.

Instead of waiting to be constrained by rules, take a look at how this quiet walrus is weaving a new network with persistence.

The cloud giants want to extort us again, huh? That's hilarious. We should have resisted long ago. Can Walrus really shake Google's monopoly? I'm a bit hopeful. Data sovereignty sounds great, but how do you use it? I just want cheap, stable storage. It's both distributed and decentralized—doesn't that complicate things, everyone? By the way, the Sui ecosystem is really holding back a big move. It feels like the entire approach is different.

This walrus has finally arrived, cloud giants better tremble Tired of being controlled by vampires, data sovereignty can no longer wait Interesting, Redstuff is fragmented and reorganized, feels much more practical than those projects that constantly shout revolution

I've been saying for a long time that the cloud giants' approach will eventually fail; we're really used to getting cut off. The idea behind Walrus is indeed good, but adoption is still an issue. Wait, what is Redstuff? That's quite a name. We've been talking about data sovereignty for so many years, but only a few have truly taken off. The Ocean Elephant Web sounds romantic, but in practice, will it turn out to be another new pitfall?

Wow, Walrus is really causing a stir this time. Finally, someone dares to confront the wall of cloud giants. But can Redstuff really be implemented, or is it just another wave of idealistic token speculation? The AI training data has indeed been stuck tightly. If Walrus can break through, that would be impressive. Sui's speed combined with distributed storage sounds very competitive; it all depends on who can develop the application first. The issue of data sovereignty has been discussed for many years. At last, there is a technical solution—hopefully it won't be abandoned again.

Haha, Haixiang's move this time is really fierce. Data sovereignty is finally no longer just talk on paper. Wait, can it really break the monopoly of AI training data? Feels still too optimistic. Redstuff's data segmentation method, can it really be cheaper than cloud giants? Has anyone done the math? Another new Web3 concept, looking forward but not overhyped, ongoing attention. If it can really be used, social memory never expires—it's basically a dream.

Hmm... This Walrus sounds good, but can it really shake up those cloud giants? Another promise of distributed storage, sounds nice, but let's see when it's actually used. Walrus mesh network? I'm more concerned about whether the costs can really be cheaper than cloud services. Another new thing in the Sui ecosystem, I have reservations about developer choice. Data sovereignty sounds great, but do users really care, or is it just a geek game? However, the Blob slicing idea is quite wild and worth following up on.

The set of cloud giants indeed needs to be changed; data sovereignty sounds exciting. --- Another distributed storage solution, Walrus—can it really eliminate centralization this time... a bit期待. --- Redstuff's data shredding operation is quite interesting, but I wonder if it will face compatibility issues when actually used. --- Breaking monopolies is useless just by shouting; the key is whether the ecosystem can truly take off. --- Elephant weaving the web again—feels like we're just reinventing the wheel. --- Is data sovereignty no longer a castle in the air? Let me see if the costs are acceptable first. --- It's heartbreaking that AI training data is being monopolized, but can Walrus handle it? Not really sure. --- Choice is a good thing, provided this framework doesn't turn into a new bottle of the old wine. --- Sui plus Walrus—sounds like a good combination, but I'm just worried that implementation might be another story.

Hmm... The cloud giants' approach indeed needs to be countered. When data is in someone else's hands, there's nothing to say. Wait, can Walrus really break the AI training data monopoly? I need to keep an eye on this. Walrus weaving a web—an interesting metaphor. If this distributed storage framework can really be implemented, developers on Sui will probably be ecstatic. Basically, it's still a sovereignty issue—who gets to decide the ownership of their data?
