Today, I saw @irys_xyz's tweet and realized that Irys is truly a detail-oriented person 🤣 I thought it was just an ordinary tweet, but when I clicked on it, it was "full of surprises," even the document content was packed with details. 🔍 The essential differences between the three modes Arweave's one-time payment seems simple, but behind it is the pre-locking of storage costs. Users pay for permanence, but in reality, they are betting on the storage costs for the next few decades. Filecoin's market bidding mechanism is more like a decentralized version of traditional cloud services. The supply and demand relationship determines the price, but the uncertainty makes it difficult for enterprise users to budget. Walrus, as the storage layer of the Sui ecosystem, focuses not on price but on performance. It is more like an experimental solution designed for high-frequency data access scenarios, and the reliance on an intermediate layer adds complexity. ⚡️ The unified access value of Irys Irys's biggest innovation is not the storage itself, but the abstraction of complex storage choices. Developers do not need to study the characteristics of each storage network; they can access different underlying storage through a unified pricing model. The positioning of the settlement and access layer solves the user experience problem of storage. Just as cloud service providers shield the complexity of underlying hardware, Irys shields the differences between various storage protocols. ————————————————————————— In practical applications, most projects do not need to choose a storage solution but rather require stable and predictable data services. @irys_xyz has made storage truly programmable infrastructure through unified pricing and access control.
