The Next Primitive: Proof-Carrying Data is Here.
The evolution of blockchain infrastructure follows a clear path: from building everything in-house, to leveraging powerful, shared primitives. We saw it with oracles for price feeds. The next essential primitive is for generalized, verifiable data.
Enter Walrus Protocol.
We’ve built a network where decentralized operators attest to any data request (on-chain state, compute results, real-world info). The output is a compact, cryptographically-signed attestation—a proof of correctness that any smart contract can verify with minimal gas.
This architecture separates data sourcing from on-chain verification, enabling massive scalability and flexibility.
For developers, this means you can now build data-rich, cross-chain applications without becoming an expert in every chain's consensus. The primitive is here. What will you build with it?
