At its core, Walrus is a decentralized storage and data layer designed to solve one of the biggest challenges in Web3 — scalable, cost-effective, and verifiable stora#Walrus arge datasets like media files, AI data, and blockchain archives. Instead of storing everything directly on-chain (which is expensive and inefficient), Walrus splits data into coded fragments and distributes them in a decentralized network while anchoring proofs on the Sui blockchain for security and availability.
The protocol was conceived as a way to support decentralized applications (dApps), media projects, data markets, and next-generation AI infrastructure without relying on centralized servers. This infrastructure shift enables developers and builders to focus on innovation without re-inventing the wheel for data storage.#WAL
