What good is it to have a digital asset if the server hosting its image could go down tomorrow? Walrus has solved this "empty pointer" crisis by integrating storage directly into the DNA of digital assets.
Websites that cannot be censored
One of the most revolutionary applications of this year is Walrus Sites. Unlike traditional web pages hosted on central servers, these sites live entirely on the Walrus network. They are fast, resistant to censorship, and, most importantly, are owned by the user. In 2026, we are seeing how media and social media platforms are migrating to this format to protect the integrity of their content.
The future: XL Blobs and Multichain
The roadmap for this quarter includes support for XL Blobs, allowing the storage of massive-sized files (such as 4K movies or complete genomes) with minimal latencies. Furthermore, although it was born in Sui, Walrus is extending its tentacles towards Ethereum and Solana, aiming to become the storage standard for the entire blockchain ecosystem.
