Walrus: Decentralized Storage for the Web3 Era
Walrus is a next-generation decentralized storage protocol built on the Sui blockchain. Its mission is simple: store large-scale data on-chain in a way that is cost-efficient, private, and censorship-resistant.
Instead of saving full files on every node, Walrus uses erasure coding and blob storage to split data into smart fragments. This keeps storage cheap while ensuring files can always be recovered, even if some nodes go offline. The result is a blockchain storage layer that actually works for real applications.
Walrus also puts privacy first. Users can encrypt data, control access, and share files selectively without trusting centralized cloud servers. This makes it ideal for decentralized apps, NFT media, gaming assets, AI datasets, and Web3 social platforms.
Powered by Sui’s fast and low-cost network, Walrus acts like a decentralized cloud drive for the future internet.
In simple words:
Walrus is building the hard drive of Web3 — secure, private, and fully decentralized.
