Why can Walrus achieve both speed and affordability? It's thanks to its core technology — "Red Stuff" (2D Erasure Coding). To help you better understand, let's make a comparison: **First-generation storage (Filecoin):** Uses "Proof of Replication." To store 1GB of data, you might need to physically store 10 copies. This not only wastes space but also incurs extremely high costs. **Second-generation storage (Walrus):** Uses "Erasure Coding." It slices data like a cake into countless mathematical fragments (Blobs). You only need to collect a small portion of these fragments to instantly reconstruct the full data. This technical architecture brings three game-changing advantages: **Ultra-low cost:** Storage costs are only 1/5 or even less than traditional blockchain storage. **Disaster-resistant:** Even if 1/3 of the network's nodes suddenly disappear, the data remains safe and readable. **High concurrency:** Perfectly suited for real-time read demands from AI models and high-definition video streams. @WalrusProtocol #Walrus $WAL
