What modern Web3 apps really need from storage
IPFS kicked off the whole decentralized storage movement, no doubt about it. But as Web3 apps grow up, they’re running into some real limitations. Developers want their data to stick around, stay available, and be easy to restore when things go sideways. That’s where IPFS falls short.
See, IPFS does a great job with content addressing—you can find your stuff as long as it’s there. But it doesn’t promise your data will be around when you need it. So, most teams end up relying on pinning services to keep their files alive. At that point, you’re basically centralizing the thing you set out to decentralize in the first place.
This is why tools like Walrus are stepping in. Walrus focuses on making sure data stays available, heals itself if something breaks, and delivers predictable access every time. It’s not about being unhappy with IPFS. It’s just that developer needs are shifting. They want more, and they need something built for real-world, production-scale work.
Web3 is growing up fast, and storage has to keep pace. Walrus is one of those next-gen options designed for serious apps, not just proof-of-concept demos.
If you’re building something real, maybe it’s time to rethink your storage stack.
FAQs
Is IPFS obsolete?
Not at all—it’s just not the whole answer anymore.
Can Walrus work with IPFS?
Absolutely, depending on what you’re building.
Why modern Web3 developers are checking out alternatives to IPFS.

Analysis of the reasons for the weak market performance of Filecoin (FIL), is there still hope? Will the 2026 'halving' and the official lock-up 'release' have any impact?
Analysis of the reasons for the weak market performance of Filecoin (FIL), is there still hope? Will the 2026 'halving' and the official lock-up 'release' have any impact?
The poor performance of Filecoin (FIL), especially in a weak market, can be analyzed from multiple aspects such as market, technology, and economics. Below are the classifications and analyses of the main reasons:
1. Weak Market Performance
1. Market Factors
Overall cryptocurrency market sluggishness: The price performance of Filecoin is highly correlated with the overall cryptocurrency market. Recently, the cryptocurrency market has been under pressure, for example, the CoinDesk 20 index dropped by 2.6%, and mainstream coins like Bitcoin (BTC) performed poorly, making it difficult for Filecoin to stand out on its own.

🔥 PDP Launches on Mainnet: Verifiable Hot Storage on Filecoin
With the launch of Proof of Data Ownership (PDP) on Mainnet, Filecoin enters a new era of decentralized storage—unlocking fast, verifiable access to hot data. Unlike traditional cold storage proofs, PDP enables storage providers to cryptographically prove they hold immediately available files without needing to retrieve or unseal them. This upgrade bridges the performance gap between centralized cloud and decentralized storage, supporting use cases like AI training, static web content delivery, and developer environments. With PDP, builders can achieve the speed they need, customers can rest assured their data is ready on demand, and SPs can capitalize on new revenue opportunities. The SPX onboarding program will launch this May to help expand PDP adoption across the network.
