There’s a layer of the web3 stack most aren’t paying attention to yet - decentralized data infrastructure
Smart contracts and execution layers get all the spotlight, but the question no one’s answering well enough is:
Where does the data live?
How does it scale?
Who controls it?
How do you query it across chains - fast?
This is where @irys_xyz quietly stands out
Been exploring their architecture, and it’s clear they’re not just patching existing problems - they’re building for where web3 needs to go:
➣Architected for scalability, not just MVPs
➣Handles lifecycle management natively
➣Governance is decentralized, user-first
➣Built for cross-chain interoperability by design
➣Enables real-time querying - no waiting around
➣Encryption and privacy are core, not bolted on
➣Offers redundancy and high availability under stress
➣Comes with analytics tools already integrated
➣Ready for decentralized identity systems
No hype, just solid infra thinking ahead of the curve
Worth studying if you care about where decentralized data is headed next
