{"id":"w5rOVYHAors","title":"What if storage could be even cheaper?","description":"One of the biggest developer pain points on blockchains is storage staking.\nIf state storage doesn’t need to be replicated on every node, it becomes much cheaper to store data onchain.\n\nThat opens the door to replacing storage staking with a simple gas payment for writing to state.\n\nMuch easier for developers.\n\nMuch simpler for users.\n\nNEAR is the unified commerce layer for assets and agents. \nWebsite: https://near.org/\nNEAR AI: https://near.ai/\nIntents: https://near.org/intents\nChain Abstraction: https://www.proximity.dev/\nSharding: https://nearone.org/\n\nFor the devs\nGitHub: https://github.com/near \nDev Docs: https://docs.near.org/\nDevhub: https://devhub.near.page/ @NEARDevHub\n\nConnect with socials\nTwitter:   / nearprotocol  \nBlog: https://near.org/blog/\nMedium:   / nearprotocol  \n#NEAR #nearprotocol #NEARAI","channel_name":"NEAR Protocol","published_at":"2026-03-14T00:00:00.000Z","thumbnail_url":"https://img.youtube.com/vi/w5rOVYHAors/hqdefault.jpg","transcript_text":"If we don't actually need to replicate the state storage on every single chunk producer node, then the state will become even cheaper than what we have today.
