#walrus $WAL

‏Is it possible for #wakeup lrus to become the default "Storage Layer" for $SUI applications?

(Checklist for Investor)

If you want to evaluate an infrastructure project intelligently, don't ask: "What's the price?" Instead, ask: Does it solve a recurring problem for developers? And does it reduce cost/complexity?

In the Sui ecosystem, @Walrus 🦭/acc sProtocol provides a direct answer to the problem: heavy off-chain data with the need for on-chain proofs.

Walrus = Smart separation between Data Plane and Control Plane

Data Plane: Storage Nodes store distributed, fault-tolerant data chunks.

Control Plane (Sui): Walrus nodes anchor metadata and availability proofs and track versions.

Fast Read Path: Aggregator collects chunks + CDN/Cache reduces response time for end users.

Practical Checklist (easy to measure):

✅ Are developer tools clear? (Docs/SDK/Cost calculator)

✅ Is the upload/read path simple? (Client/Publisher/Aggregator)

✅ Is the data verifiable? (On-chain metadata + Proof-of-Availability)

✅ Is the experience close to Web2? (CDN/Cache)

✅ Is the economy tied to usage? ($WAL for payment + staking for nodes)

Why might it spread? Because 2026 applications aren't just "token-only"; they are AI + Games + Media + Data. All of them need fast, reliable, and verifiable storage.

If Walrus succeeds in making storage an integral part of smart contract logic (not just a side service), it will create a natural wave of adoption within Sui.
