Walrus starts with a quiet truth: blockchains are great at coordination, not at storing large data. Instead of forcing them to do everything, Walrus designs a system where each layer does what it’s best at. The blockchain acts as the brain, tracking ownership, access rules, and payments. The storage network acts as the body, carrying the heavy weight of real files. This design runs alongside Sui, which treats data objects as first-class citizens rather than side attachments. When users upload data, it’s encoded and distributed using erasure coding. No full copies. No single point of failure. The network continuously checks itself through cryptographic proofs. If a node disappears, the system heals. This is not decentralization for ideology. It’s decentralization for reliability.
