You're still pondering which public chain is faster? Honestly, that's a bit outdated. The key to winning this competition isn't speed at all, but a often overlooked aspect—how data is stored.



Sui aims to surpass Solana, but sheer transaction throughput alone isn't enough. What it truly needs is that "core engine," which is most likely Walrus—a long underestimated presence.

**Common issues with Solana vs. Sui's breakthrough approach**

Solana is indeed fast, but there's a hidden risk lurking beneath: state explosion. Transaction, NFT, and application data on the chain pile up like a snowball, making nodes expensive and cumbersome to run, ultimately leading to centralization. This isn't a minor flaw; it's a critical flaw that could be fatal.

Sui's solution is "division of labor": the main chain handles transaction processing, aiming for maximum speed; the Walrus protocol takes on all the "heavy lifting"—images, videos, application data—all included. In other words, Walrus is like Sui's external hard drive, keeping the main chain lightweight at all times. Without it, Sui will eventually follow Solana's old path.

**The next era of full-chain gaming, infrastructure is right here**

Around 2026, full-chain gaming will truly take off. But "full-chain" here doesn't mean just putting equipment on the chain; it means placing the core game itself directly on the chain—code, art, sound effects—all included.

Walrus makes this a reality. Game resources are stored on decentralized networks. Even if the game company disappears, your assets and the game world remain forever. You can even set up your own server to continue playing. This is true permanent ownership.

Damn, Walrus has really been buried for too long. It seems like everyone is just hyping up TPS numbers. Now I understand why Solana, despite being so fast, still keeps crashing—speed isn't the core issue. The Sui approach is indeed brilliant—separating data allows the main chain to run light. As long as Walrus can handle it, they will win. But honestly, I'm still a bit skeptical about the full-chain gaming taking off by 2026. Is the timeline too optimistic? If Walrus can truly uphold the promise of permanent ownership, it could indeed reshape the gaming industry landscape.

The statement "state explosion" is brilliant; Solana is now just paying off its historical debts. --- If Walrus really takes off, Sui will have a chance. The "light speed" approach has already been played out. --- Wait, can distributed storage truly support full-chain gaming? It still feels a bit premature. --- Permanent ownership sounds good, but who will maintain the stability of this decentralized network? --- Many people have underestimated Walrus for a long time; it will be too late once it explodes. --- The 2026 full-chain gaming prediction is a bit aggressive, but the idea is indeed correct. --- If Sui doesn't get the data layer right, high TPS won't matter. --- The hard drive analogy is brilliant; finally someone explained it clearly. --- Looking at Solana's past lessons, Sui's architecture really has been thought through. --- Running the main chain lightly and handing data over to Walrus—this approach broke my previous understanding.

Wait, is this article saying that Walrus is the real winner? I always thought Sui itself was impressive enough...

Wait, can Walrus really save Sui? I think it more looks like a gamble by the Sui team... Honestly, Solana didn't handle the explosive growth well, but if Sui truly relies on Walrus for decentralization, does it still count as a public chain? Conversely, it becomes a secondary solution dependent on the protocol. --- Data storage has indeed been overlooked, but we should wait until Walrus can truly operate at scale before praising it... Otherwise, it's just another round of hype. --- Will the full-chain game rise in 2026? Brother, your prediction is a bit optimistic. It's more realistic to focus on Walrus's actual node deployment situation. --- Sui's idea of separating computation and storage is good, but does doing so actually increase cross-chain complexity? Faster speeds might make data consistency a bottleneck. --- I've heard the argument of permanent ownership too many times. The key is whether Walrus can truly operate in a decentralized manner; otherwise, it's just centralized with a different name.

To be honest, nobody has cared about Walrus all along, but it is indeed key to Sui. The issue with Solana's explosive state will eventually cause problems.

Walrus is indeed underestimated; storage is the next battleground, and this point is understood thoroughly. The SOL architecture will eventually fail; state inflation is unavoidable. If the all-chain gaming industry takes off in 2026, infrastructure like Walrus will truly become a necessity. It all depends on who can achieve decentralization without dropping the ball. Honestly, compared to TPS, I care more about whether the chain can stay alive. After years of focusing on speed, finally someone is thinking about storage issues. Interesting. If Walrus can truly support Sui's ambitions, then SOL should be on alert. However, whether this will really take off depends on actual performance; a good plan on paper doesn't count. Perpetual ownership sounds great, but whether decentralized storage can truly guarantee data isn't lost remains a question. So, Sui is now betting that Walrus can catch this wave? Feels like there's quite a bit of pressure.

I have to say, the Walrus angle has indeed been overlooked for too long. The part about explosive growth in the state is quite impactful; that's exactly how Solana is being dragged down now. Sui's idea of division of labor isn't bad, but it all depends on execution. --- I'm a bit skeptical about the whole chain game aspect. 2026? It seems more realistic to push the timeline further back. But if Walrus can really handle the on-chain data workload, at least in theory, it's feasible. --- Wait, isn't this just shifting storage pressure to Walrus? If Walrus encounters problems, wouldn't Sui still have to take the blame? This logic seems a bit too good to be true. --- Honestly, I feel a bit sorry for Sui—it's supposed to be fast and "light," yet it still relies on Walrus as a safety net. I'm worried it might end up becoming a hostage in the end. --- The idea of permanent ownership sounds great, but in real scenarios, when a game company runs away, can ordinary people really set up their own servers? --- Is Walrus really that powerful right now, or are these just optimistic plans on paper? Has anyone actually used it to run data?
