The future of Web3 ultimately depends on developers building it. But the current problem is obvious—the complex technical barriers stand in the way of many potential developers.



Walrus Protocol's recent approach is very interesting. They didn't get caught up in how awesome the technology itself is; instead, they focused on "how to make developers feel comfortable using it." The update to the TypeScript SDK reflects this idea.

To put it simply, this SDK packages the complex logic of distributed storage into a foolproof tool. Quilt is used for batch storage, Seal handles privacy encryption, and data read/write is all included, with an API interface designed to be very intuitive. You don't need to understand the underlying coding, how nodes are distributed, or how data is dispersed—these technical details are handled by the framework. Just a few lines of code are enough to integrate storage functions, reducing code volume by over 70% compared to traditional solutions.

This benefits developers in different directions. Want to store massive metadata for an NFT project? Just call Quilt's API. Need encrypted storage for training data in an AI application? Seal's features directly meet that need. The most impressive part is its strong compatibility—supported across browsers, Node.js, and mobile applications. Developers with a Web2 background don't need major changes to their existing tech stack; they can migrate their applications and start using it right away.

The training program and the launch of the Upload Relay tool follow the same logic. The core goal is to lower entry barriers, giving more creative ideas a chance to land in the Web3 storage space. When the developer experience improves, the application ecosystem naturally becomes more active.

This is the right way. Lowering the threshold is much more useful than bragging. The 70% reduction in code volume is real and impressive. Finally, someone is doing things properly. Web2 developers can migrate painlessly? Now we can really get people involved. But the key is whether the ecosystem can come alive. Good tools alone are useless without applications. The names Quilt and Seal are indeed tasteful. By the way, is this SDK really that simple to use, or is it just another marketing gimmick? The focus on developer experience is well handled. No wonder the recent buzz has been quite good. Finally, a protocol has been thought through. To grow big, you need to bring in ordinary developers.

This is the right way. Finally, someone has figured it out. --- Writing a comfortable SDK is a hundred times more important than the technology itself. --- 70% less code? I'm taking off directly. Now Web2 users can also join the game. --- The combination of Quilt and Seal is quite interesting. Finally, no need to handle low-level code by yourself. --- The issue is whether the ecosystem is active or not depends on whether the project team is willing to engage. --- Compatibility really hits the pain point. The high migration cost from Web2 has always been a big problem. --- Only with proper training and follow-up can new users be truly attracted. Otherwise, no matter how good the SDK is, developers won't find the door.

Save 70% of the code? Now that's a practical approach. Finally, someone is taking developers seriously.

That's right, lowering the barrier is the key, Walrus's approach is correct. --- Honestly, a 70% reduction in code volume? If that's true, I would believe it. --- Another "simplified development" story, let's see how long it can last. --- Storing data with NFTs, AI encrypted training data, sounds wonderful, but how does it work in practice? --- It's good that it is compatible with the Web2 stack, at least no more hassle for developers. --- Feels like every time they say it's easy to use, but who is actually using Walrus? --- No hype, no blackening; if this SDK is really so good, the ecosystem will speak for itself.

Oh, this is the real deal. Lowering the threshold allows developers to come in. --- I see through Walrus's approach. Making SDKs foolproof is just a way to attract people. --- 70% less code? Then maybe I should refactor those projects I did before... --- Being compatible with the Web2 stack is truly the key; there's no need to overhaul everything, that's the way to go. --- I'm just worried that no matter how loud we hype it up, the ecosystem still won't take off. A good developer experience is what really matters. --- Quilt and Seal are also good names for tools; they sound simple and not complicated. --- Why isn't anyone hyping this up? Isn't this the breakthrough for Web3 usability? --- Ultimately, it's about activating developers; only then can the ecosystem truly take off. --- Following up with a training plan shows thorough planning. Lowering the threshold requires both hardware and software improvements. --- Running directly in the browser? Then Web2 developers really have no reason not to try it out.

This is the right way, truly understanding developers' pain points --- Lowering the threshold > Showcasing technology, it should have been done this way long ago --- Hey, 70% code reuse, that number sounds a bit exaggerated, right? Or is it really that impressive --- Can Web2 developers migrate seamlessly? Then there's real potential, the ecosystem can truly come alive --- Seal and Quilt are well-named, and they feel comfortable to use, so there's nothing more to say --- Instead of bragging about how awesome distributed systems are, it's better to make them easy to use. Walrus's approach is right --- Yeah, only with a good development experience can the ecosystem truly prosper, that's fundamental --- NFTs can store data, AI training data can also be handled, the imagination is a bit unleashed --- Strong compatibility is key, otherwise Web2 users won't be able to transition at all --- Feels like this is what Web3 should look like, not just bragging about revolution every day
