Web3 faces an awkward reality—your meticulously designed smart contracts may be foolproof, but once the front end is hosted on centralized servers, the entire system remains vulnerable. Domains get blocked, CDNs go down, and even the most perfect protocols can vanish in an instant.

What is truly missing for complete on-chain decentralization? It’s a distributed storage layer capable of supporting high performance and low latency. Now, some protocols are starting to do this—allowing developers to deploy the entire front end and all multimedia resources onto a decentralized network. This is no longer just an auxiliary tool; it is the true underlying infrastructure.

When users access applications, the experience is almost indistinguishable from traditional web pages, but what supports it are thousands of nodes distributed worldwide. This is no small matter.

From an investment perspective, don’t get caught up in short-term price fluctuations. Storage protocols like these are essentially the "bandwidth rights certificates" of the future internet. As global awareness of data privacy and anti-censorship increases, decentralized storage capable of supporting commercial-scale applications will become a scarce resource. If you’re still asking whether it’s worth paying attention to, it shows you haven’t yet grasped the deeper shift towards autonomy in digital space.
