Walrus (WAL) Helps Blockchains Handle Big Data at Scale
@Walrus 🦭/acc Big data is suddenly a blockchain problem again, mostly because AI apps and media-heavy products want onchain logic without dragging gigabytes onto the chain. Walrus (WAL), developed by Mysten Labs, is getting attention for storing large “blobs” off-chain while still letting apps verify what was stored, even if a big chunk of the network goes missing. That’s practical progress. With its public mainnet launch on March 27, 2025, and an ongoing focus on smoother developer use and privacy as a default, the timing makes sense.
