Have you ever thought about the serious consequences when massive news materials, interview recordings, and on-site archives are all stored on centralized platforms? Once faced with censorship pressure or hacker attacks, these critical pieces of evidence can be instantly tampered with or disappear. Fake news floods the internet, and public trust collapses. This is not alarmism—it's the real dilemma facing the media ecosystem.

Traditional storage solutions are inherently fragile. Centralized databases are easily manipulated, investigative documents by journalists are prone to loss, and many news applications are forced to shut down due to migration difficulties. While decentralized media platforms are ideal, they are often limited by storage efficiency ceilings. Journalists have to run around to verify information across platforms, and readers are lost in the ocean of information.

A new approach is emerging within the Sui ecosystem. It reconstructs the trusted foundation of media data through a distributed storage network. This protocol uses Red Stuff erasure coding technology, which automatically encrypts and disperses data across global nodes. Even with low redundancy, it can achieve permanent verification. Privacy mechanisms are in place to protect journalists' identities, with content accessible only to authorized editors or AI fact-checking tools.

Imagine transforming your investigative archives into on-chain verifiable evidence: automatically bound with timestamps, distributing journalist rewards based on contributions, and forming a truth collaboration network across media types. Content moderation can also run on-chain, theoretically reducing the spread of false information. Currently, this network has stored over 12PB of data and established partnerships with multiple media projects. As the AI-generated news wave arrives in 2026, data capacity demands will inevitably explode.

From the participants' perspective, token holders stake to maintain media nodes and participate in ecosystem governance. Every data interaction can generate direct rewards. This design restores journalists' independence, provides users with more authentic information, and truly achieves media decentralization.

Data is immortal, and only then can the truth circulate. Distributed storage is doing more than just technological upgrades—it is reshaping the trust foundation of the information ecosystem.
