Few people notice, but storage and privacy are the two silent pillars for the upcoming RWA/institutional wave:
Walrus (@Walrus 🦭/acc ):
• Decentralized blob storage on Sui, optimizing data availability
• Tech: Resilient, cost-efficient, supporting programmable data
• Raised $140M led by Standard Crypto, with a16z, Electric Capital
• Noteworthy: Scalable solutions for data-heavy apps on Sui & beyond
Dusk (@Dusk ):
• Privacy L1 with confidential smart contracts
• Tech: ZK proofs for regulated finance & real-world assets
• Raised ~$11M from Bitfinex, COSIMO Ventures,...
• Noteworthy: A real privacy bridge with institutional compliance
As on-chain data skyrockets and regulations tighten, these two areas will be very much needed.
