Recently tested Walrus's Quilt batch storage solution for a friend, and the results are quite interesting. Packaging and uploading 120 characters' metadata of 10KB each costs 0.24 WAL if stored separately, but with Quilt, it only costs 0.0006 WAL—saving 400 times directly. Even more impressive, each file can be called individually after packaging without unpacking operations, reducing Gas fees by 80%. Compared to IPFS's Pinning services, this solution not only eliminates the fixed monthly fee of $12 but also removes the risk of data loss due to service provider shutdowns. For small NFT projects with tight budgets, this solution truly solves the major storage cost problem.

Wow, 400x leverage, is this number exaggerated? This Quilt thing actually has some substance; small projects can indeed get a breather. But the question is, who will guarantee that your data is truly secure? Wait, how is it possible to reduce Gas fees by 80%? If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have used IPFS, all that money spent... Is this reliable? Could it be just another scam to run away with the funds? Has anyone actually used it in a production environment? Let's hear some real feedback first.

Whoa, 400x? Is this data really accurate? Seems a bit unbelievable. Why isn't Quilt catching on yet? It's so much cheaper than IPFS. A savior for small project folks, finally no need to worry about storage fees. Wait, no need to unpack when calling it separately? That's an interesting technical point. Those IPFS guys must be getting anxious, haha. 80% reduction in Gas fees—this is a big win for on-chain costs. Has anyone actually tested this? Please share an experience report. If this is stable, it feels like the next wave of small NFTs will flood in.

400x cost savings? Wow, that's quite impressive. Is it real or just hype? Walrus's move really blew up IPFS. The savior for small projects has appeared; no more paying the IQ tax every month. But is Quilt reliable? Could it be the next one to run away? When can we actually use this thing? I can't wait any longer. This is what Web3 should look like. Lowering costs makes everything else easier. Gas fees reduced by 80%? That's a bit too good to be true. Has anyone tested it? Don't tell me it's just an empty promise. Is the spring for small NFT projects here? But we still need real data to prove it. If it's reliable, we should push it to our studio quickly. Endlessly paying for storage costs is too much.

400 times the savings? Bro, is this number exaggerated? Can it really be achieved after an actual run?

400x price difference? Buddy, you're not testing, you're striking gold here. Quilt's system is indeed top-notch. Small projects no longer have to go bankrupt over storage fees. Honestly, the fixed fee model of IPFS should have been revolutionized long ago, and the risk of running away is a major downside. But will there be pitfalls in real operation? I've heard some batch solutions have worrying delays.
