Walrus is built around a simple but important idea. Blockchains are great at recording truth but they are not made to store heavy data. Real apps need large files like images video AI models and game assets. I’m seeing Walrus step into that gap in a calm and practical way.
Instead of forcing data onto a chain Walrus creates its own storage network while Sui records ownership proofs and rules. They’re separating responsibility so each layer does what it is good at. Walrus focuses on storing and recovering data while Sui focuses on coordination and verification.
When data is uploaded it is split encoded and distributed across many independent nodes. Proofs are written onchain so anyone can verify the data exists and should stay available. If nodes fail the system can recover because it expects things to break.
I’m not looking at Walrus as hype. They’re building infrastructure. The purpose is to make data reliable programmable and owned rather than borrowed. For people who only see tokens on Binance this is a reminder that some projects are about long term foundations not fast attention.
