To a large number of individuals who are reading about decentralized storage, price becomes a major concern.
Conventional systems have the tendency of making replicas of complete files that are very costly. This issue is solved by Walrus with a special process of erasure codifying files known as Red Stuff, which subdivides files into tiny bits and spreads them far apart. The file can also be rebuilt even in case some fragments of the file are missing. This will lower the overhead in storage as well as maintain the cost significantly low than complete replication systems without compromising the safety and recoverability of files.
It is a wiser means of managing the large data on decentralized networks.
