Last week, I helped my cousin with his 'Pet Boarding Cloud Album' mini-program. It launched just recently, and there was already a problem. 'The customer paid and wanted to see real-time photos of the dog, but the album took forever to load. Some parents said the photo order was mixed up, thinking their dog had been swapped, and almost started arguing with me,' he scratched his head and smiled bitterly. 'I wanted to store the photos on the blockchain to ensure they wouldn't be lost, but uploading images to a public chain is slow and expensive. Storing just a few dozen photos costs a lot, and small platforms really can't handle it.'
This reminded me of Bitlayer's 'Elastic Storage Layer' design — unlike traditional public chains that pile all data onto the main chain, it creates a 'dedicated fast transfer channel' for photos. The main chain only takes care of the most core permissions and data certificates, while Bitlayer specializes in handling high-volume, high-frequency data like photos and videos. Not only is the transmission speed three times faster than before, but it also uses 'incremental sync' technology, updating only newly captured content, and the fees are directly reduced to one-fifth of what they used to be.
'Now when customers click into the album, it loads instantly, and the photos are neatly arranged by time. Parents are at ease, and I have less to worry about,' my cousin flipped through the backend reviews and suddenly said, 'It turns out blockchain can do more than just store digital currencies; it can also help pet owners store their 'fur babies' daily lives.' #Bitlayer
In fact, the novelty of technology never lies in how flashy the concept is, but in whether it can penetrate into specific scenarios to solve problems. Just like Bitlayer didn't jump into the hype of the 'metaverse'; instead, it focused on small needs like boarding albums and handmade orders, allowing blockchain to truly become a tool that ordinary people can relate to. @BitlayerLabs
