Resource consumption in storage networks has always been a difficult issue to overcome. Traditional solutions often require a 25x replication factor to ensure security, which inadvertently increases the overall ecosystem cost.

Walrus offers a different solution. It only needs a 4-5x replication factor to achieve the same security standards—what does this mean? It means doing the same thing with fewer resources.

Looking at the data specifically: storing 1GB of data consumes only 5GB of network capacity. In real-world scenarios, this directly translates to lower storage costs. Network efficiency is improved, and user costs are reduced. Whether for developers or ordinary users, high-quality storage services can be obtained at more affordable prices. This is true optimization.
