Storing photos and important documents with large cloud service providers—can you really trust them? Honestly, the platform holds the power over your data’s life and death—able to review, delete, or even secretly analyze the contents of your files at any time. Behind the seemingly convenient interface lies an invisible erosion of personal privacy. Your data has never truly belonged to you.

Is there a better solution? Decentralized storage is changing all of this. Take the Walrus protocol as an example; its approach is very innovative: it slices and encodes a large file, then disperses it across thousands of independent nodes worldwide. Without a central server, no one can monopolize or suddenly shut down your data. Running on the Sui blockchain, it’s also cheaper than traditional cloud storage.

Technically, it uses erasure coding—meaning even if some nodes fail, your files can still be fully recovered, making it highly resilient. For creators, businesses, and individual users, this represents true data sovereignty. Your works, your memories, your business data—only you get to decide. Say goodbye to being tied to internet giants, and start reclaiming control over your data.
