Many people are still focusing on transaction throughput and fees on the chain, but the true competition in Web3's second half has quietly shifted — it's no longer about how high TPS is, but about who can long-term accumulate user behavior, history, and data.

Imagine a gamer who has accumulated years of character progress, equipment, and transaction records on a certain chain, with all data properly stored by the chain's storage solution. Why would they migrate to another chain? The cost of migration is too high — not just technically, but psychologically as well. This is the real ecological barrier.

History has shown that whether an ecosystem can thrive long-term is never determined by a hot trend at a certain moment, but by how data is organized, accessed, and reused. As applications continuously accumulate user behavior, content generation, and on-chain interaction records on a storage protocol, these data act like gravity, tightly locking users, applications, and the entire ecosystem together.

This is precisely why storage solutions that focus on the foundational layer of on-chain data operation are becoming increasingly important. They do not aim to be all-in-one solutions but ensure that high-frequency data remains verifiable without occupying the chain's resources. In other words, they are redefining the relationship between the chain and data, allowing the ecosystem to expand while maintaining efficiency. The future Web3 competition is essentially a contest of data accumulation capabilities.
