Decentralized storage networks have long battled one critical weakness: the cost spiral from redundant data replication. Walrus Protocol is taking a different approach with 2D erasure coding technology, which fundamentally changes the economics. This method maintains data integrity while cutting storage overhead considerably. The result? Better reliability without the price tag that's historically plagued distributed storage solutions.

2D erasure coding sounds pretty good. Finally, someone is thinking about tackling the cost aspect. Previously, those solutions only focused on redundancy, which was just wasting money.

Wait, 2D erasure codes sound pretty good, but can they really solve the old problem of storage costs? Or is it just another hype concept?

ngl 2D erasure code sounds like someone finally pierced through the pain points of distributed storage... The previous redundant copying was really ridiculously expensive.

2D erasure codes sound good, but I want to know—what happens if this system can't operate under extreme market conditions? Storage costs have decreased, but what about node health factors? If one link triggers the liquidation threshold, can the dominoes hold?
