Permanent storage of verifiable data is complete nonsense.

The article argues that permanently storing verifiable data is wasteful, because verifiable only means data can be checked, not that it has been checked, and most users never check it. It recommends storing only trustless verified data, which has been validated before storage so users can re-verify it simply. It cites DeFiLlama's bridge TVL numbers as an example of data many people use without verifying, and says that incorrect or outdated stored data keeps occupying space while delivering no long-term value. It names KYVE's Trustless API as an example of a verification method.
