In the decentralized storage race, different solutions have their trade-offs. Some projects emphasize permanent data recording, while others focus on passive retention mechanisms. But what truly appeals to enterprise users are those solutions that can both protect privacy and meet compliance requirements.

Recently, I came across an interesting idea—allowing users to actively manage their data lifecycle. This means you can modify or delete your data blocks while maintaining transparency of transaction history through blockchain records. This balanced approach is especially suitable for highly sensitive industries like finance and healthcare.

The accompanying access control protocol enables encrypted storage of sensitive information and allows fine-grained permissions on who can access it. In comparison, an average annual cost of $50/TB is quite competitive and has already attracted compliance projects like media and 3D design platforms to join the ecosystem.

From an incentive perspective, nodes are rewarded for participating in compliant storage, further strengthening the network’s support for enterprise-level services. It can be said that this design logic is bringing Web2 enterprises closer to Web3 infrastructure—not as a disruptive replacement, but as a pragmatic upgrade choice.
