Why Walrus Uses Sui as its Execution Layer
We chose Sui for Walrus because it’s fast, handles tons of data at once, and just doesn’t get bogged down. Storage protocols like ours need to juggle a lot users, storage providers, token rewards, the whole deal and Sui’s setup is perfect for all that.
Sui’s object-based system lets Walrus handle storage commitments smoothly. Plus, with parallel processing, we don’t see slowdowns even when demand spikes. That means Walrus can actually handle enterprise-level storage decentralized and without breaking the bank. If you’re a developer on Sui, you can plug right into Walrus to store anything from metadata and media to analytics and user content. It just works.
WAL token functions as the settlement and coordination asset within this environment. Providers earn WAL for participation, while users utilize WAL for storage consumption. This makes Walrus one of the more complete data infrastructure protocols in the ecosystem, combining execution, incentives and storage under one integrated stack.
