Walrus Protocol: Ready for Cross-Chain Expansion on Sui!
$WAL Cross-chain is the futureโturning isolated chains into a seamless Web3 world.
Walrus, Sui's leading decentralized storage protocol, is gearing up to expand beyond Sui in 2026, with plans targeting Ethereum, Solana, and Avalanche (slated for late 2025/early 2026 per roadmap updates).
Launched mainnet in March 2025, Walrus already boasts massive traction: $140M funding (a16z, Standard Crypto & more), 100+ nodes, terabytes stored, 170+ teams building on itโincluding AI projects like Talus.
Powered by erasure coding (4-5x efficient replication), on-chain proofs, and upcoming ZK attestations + relay layers, it enables secure, low-overhead data access across chains without full duplication.
$WAL token drives it all:
โข Pays storage & cross-chain fees
โข Staked for security (billions staked, solid yields)
โข Governance + deflationary burns from usage
Use case: Cross-chain NFT marketplace โ store media on Walrus/Sui โ mint & access instantly on Solana/Ethereum via relays.
Smooth, secure, unified.Walrus positions Sui as the go-to hub for programmable, portable storageโperfect for AI agents, tokenized assets, and multi-chain dApps in 2026.This is the next big leap for connected Web3!
