As enterprises begin to flexibly manage on-chain data within a compliance framework and AI models can access decentralized datasets at lower costs, the storage infrastructure will undergo a fundamental transformation—from passive data warehouses to active, programmable systems.

This is not just a technological upgrade; the deeper significance lies in rewriting the logic of data sovereignty. Who controls the data and who benefits from it—the entire game rules are being redefined.

From this perspective, the development direction of decentralized storage protocols will directly determine the ultimate trajectory of the Web3 storage ecosystem. Its success or failure, to some extent, will decide how the entire industry handles data as a core asset.
