Walrus reframes decentralized storage as a practical engineering challenge rather than an ideological debate.

Built on Sui, it separates execution from data through blob storage and advanced erasure coding (like the RedStuff 2D scheme), keeping replication low at 4-5x while ensuring high availability, fast recovery, and predictable low costs—even for large files like media, AI datasets, or app blobs.

This design prepares for real scale without choking the chain, unlike many systems that struggle when data volumes grow.

It doesn't fix every incentive or governance issue overnight, but early adoption by builders shows clear value for dApps, AI agents, and verifiable data markets.

If blockchains want serious applications beyond speculation, reliable storage layers like Walrus will likely do heavier lifting than just faster transactions ever could.#walrus $WAL @Walrus 🦭/acc
