Web3 has always had an inescapable problem: heavy reliance on text. Whether it's DeFi ledgers or NFT metadata, they are all lightweight data of just a few KB. Frankly, it's not that developers don't want to use images and videos, but the costs are prohibitive—storing 1GB of data on Ethereum or Solana would be enough to make a down payment on a house. These physical constraints keep the entire industry tightly bound within the realm of financial spreadsheets, still far from the true "Internet."
There is a project aiming to break this deadlock. It is not designed for storing hashes but is specifically built for storing Blobs (binary large objects). By slicing and dispersing unstructured, heavy data—such as full-chain game 3D models, decentralized social video streams, or even AI training datasets—across a network of inexpensive nodes, it effectively acts as a "decentralized external hard drive" for applications. Developers can write business logic into Sui's smart contracts, handing over heavy data to this storage network, thus dividing the work of "logic on-chain, data off-chain."
Once this capability is unleashed, the possibility of building "full-stack decentralized" applications truly opens up. Decentralized video platforms will no longer need to store videos on cloud service providers' servers. Full-chain games can support complex 3D scenes, not just text adventures. Even front-end web code can be stored as Blobs on the network, completely freeing itself from reliance on centralized servers. This is the path Web3 should take.
