Is it true that tableland is still storing data onchain since validators also form a chain? #616

Sorry but I'm curious about this problem. If I didn't misunderstood, each validator will store all data in all tables. So what's the advantages using tableland versus storing these data on host chains?

There's a lot to unpack here. If you are on Discord definitely join the Tableland server and ask some questions there. The docs also have some great explanations of how the network functions and what it's advantages are.

With all that said, one of the advantages is that by not storing the data on chain you don't have to pay for storage on chain. You also get a robust query capability because you can use SQL.
