Walrus control plane security: why Sui matters here
decentralized storage” debates skip the control plane, because that’s where permissions, outages, and censorship pressure actually land.
Walrus is like a warehouse where the lock and the log matter more than the shelves.It appears to use Sui’s validator set and finality to approve control actions writing metadata, updating pointers, and verifying blob proofs before data is spread across storage nodes. That keeps coordination deterministic even when nodes churn.The trade-off: anchoring the control plane to Sui improves auditability, but it inherits Sui’s liveness and governance assumptions.
WAL is used to pay protocol-level storage/bandwidth actions and can support staking and/or governance to align operators, without implying anything about price. #Walrus @Walrus 🦭/acc $WAL
