As Web3 grows, applications need a reliable, decentralized layer to store and manage large files that go beyond simple token transfers. Walrus provides this layer on Sui, ensuring that data remains secure and available even if parts of the network fail. Its efficient use of encoding and decentralized distribution makes storage more cost-efficient compared to older decentralized systems.
This matters for real-world adoption because developers can build decentralized apps that don’t depend on centralized storage services — reducing censorship risk, vendor lock-in, and single points of failure. Whether it’s for NFTs, AI datasets, media platforms, or large decentralized games, Walrus offers a scalable infrastructure that supports the future growth of Web3.
