This is going to be a thread around blockchain storage solutions and some questions that I have around snapchain directly for farcaster dev team. Note: I am not an employee of @mystenlabs. My views are my own. I acknowledge in advance that I can be wrong. That said lets get started! Some of my content below comes from @cfl0ws article. Apologies in advance if anything is taken out of context 🙏

Walrus Protocol was made by @mystenlabs Walrus Protocol is a decentralized storage and data availability solution designed to efficiently handle large binary files, stored as blobs. Built on the Sui blockchain, it offers secure, scalable, and cost-effective storage, addressing limitations found in existing decentralized storage systems. Blobs are programmable objects. Uses Sui blockchain as the coordination layer. It can be used by any other chain.. it offers secure, scalable, and cost-effective storage, addressing limitations found in existing decentralized storage systems.

Here are some questions around snapchain: 1) how would it support use cases that require long-term retention of rich media (e.g., images, videos, AI model weights)? 2) Is there a planned path for Snapchain to support versioned or mutable binary objects — or will it always require external systems for those? 3) How does Snapchain plan to handle horizontal scaling of storage for media-rich Farcaster apps (e.g., Lens-style social video, AR filters, AI-generated posts) take off? 4) Is there any mechanism for developers to "pin" or guarantee high-availability access to large files that are too big for Snapchain state? 5) Thoughts on delegating large object storage to protocols like Walrus, while keeping state and feeds on-chain?
