Walrus is a decentralized storage protocol built on the Sui blockchain, designed to solve the growing problem of secure and scalable data availability in Web3. By using decentralized blob storage combined with erasure coding, Walrus distributes large data files across a network of nodes. This architecture increases reliability, reduces storage costs, and provides strong resistance against censorship.
Unlike traditional centralized cloud services, Walrus enables trustless data storage where no single entity controls user information. This makes it ideal for DeFi platforms, NFT marketplaces, AI data pipelines, and enterprise Web3 applications that require high security and availability. Walrus also emphasizes privacy and performance, making it future-ready infrastructure for the decentralized internet.
The native token $WAL supports the ecosystem by enabling incentives, governance, and long-term sustainability of the network.
