Pyramids were never built by a group of independent craftsmen stacking stones. They require a unified design plan and a systematic collaboration framework. In today’s Web3 world, developers are like these digital craftsmen—each holding powerful tools and grand ideas, but the problem also arises—there is a lack of a universal data storage, retrieval, and verification protocol.

Looking at the current Web3 ecosystem makes this clear. Various applications operate independently, data barriers abound, and assets and states cannot truly flow between them. This fragmented state directly hampers Web3’s most imaginative aspects: complex applications that require multiple applications to coordinate and data to interact.

To break this deadlock, the key is to build a unified decentralized data foundational layer. This is not just a storage tool; it’s more like a collaborative infrastructure designed for the entire ecosystem. How to do this specifically? It mainly involves two dimensions:

First is interface standardization. Through deeply integrated standard APIs with Sui Move, applications developed by different developers can access and verify off-chain data in the same, efficient manner. This directly reduces the complexity and cost of collaboration.

Second is globalized state. Data stored here—such as in-game asset states, dynamic NFT metadata—has verifiable properties across the entire network. When one application modifies data, other applications can safely read and inherit it, truly enabling cross-application data flow.

What role do tokens play in this? Simply put, they are the language of economic incentives within this ecosystem. Developers need to pay for data services, ensuring the network’s sustainable operation; nodes providing storage and retrieval services earn rewards, maintaining network stability and efficiency. Meanwhile, token holders have governance rights, allowing them to influence the evolution of this collaboration framework together.

In this way, the value of the entire ecosystem can be truly unleashed. As more and more applications choose to build on this foundational layer, a tightly connected, innovative, and vibrant Web3 application system will accelerate its formation. What is being built is no longer isolated application towers, but the cornerstone of the entire digital world.
