Web3 gaming and media are booming—global esports alone pulled in $1.5 billion last year. But there’s a catch: centralized storage keeps causing headaches. Assets can disappear, and scaling is tricky. That’s where Walrus comes in. Built on Sui, it offers decentralized blob storage with serious tech under the hood. Using Red Stuff 2D erasure coding, Walrus ensures game and media archives stay intact, even if up to two-thirds of nodes fail. The cost? Just 4.5× typical storage—a fair trade for such strong reliability.
Walrus is already making an impact. It’s preserved 250TB of Team Liquid’s esports history, expanded Pudgy Penguins assets to 6TB, supported Alkimi’s 25 million daily ad impressions, and handled OneFootball’s massive fan data. Since launching its mainnet in March 2025, Walrus has processed 4.5 million blobs, with daily peaks of 1.5TB over 2TB of storage, running on 200+ nodes and connecting with 170+ projects.
The takeaway? Builders can now create gaming worlds and media platforms that won’t collapse if parts of the network go offline. No single points of failure—Walrus keeps assets secure, censorship-resistant, and programmable, ready for whatever the future holds.
