please expand on the storage aspect of snapchain, from our past conversation you mentioned that the choice is centralized or ipfs

Totally fair — love that it’s composable by design. That said, curious if there’s value in standardizing or recommending a blob storage layer (like Walrus) for richer apps built on farcaster? Could help devs avoid reinventing wheels around media handling, access, and persistence.

Thanks! Appreciate your response. Since Snapchain only stores pointers to media (not the blobs), would love to see integration with a decentralized blob layer like Walrus Protocol by @mystenlabs — which is optimized for large files, cheap via erasure coding, and supports deletions. Feels like a perfect modular fit 👀 What are your thoughts?

@farcaster builders... I have questions around the storage solution - 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? cc: @v @balajis.eth @dwr.eth @ted @linda

@will @farcaster saw you mention this I'd like to know what your thought are on my cast thread and questions on snapchain -- https://warpcast.com/prophecy/0x48e35f41

How does Walrus handle data recovery and availability?

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.

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 🙏

Fingers crossed! :) This might be interesting read for you about sui... from the founder of Mysten Labs https://x.com/EvanWeb3/status/1905728305569128649 warning: its super long

I will evangelize any great product and team that is working on positive impact via tech. I am actually surprised that have very minimal presence on farcaster (like few casts).

I do not work for Walrus Protocol (Mysten Labs) - they made Sui blockchain and Walrus. I'm just a fan of both. I thought this would be a great partnership and wanted to bring it to both team's attention. Yes, I've read about Snapchain whitepaper.

@ted Hi on x you had just asked what was walrus protocol and then x died. So here is my response: 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.
