The @walrusprotocol is charting a new course in decentralized storage by enabling efficient, secure, and scalable data hosting on the Sui blockchain. Instead of relying on centralized clouds, Walrus leverages advanced erasure-coding and distributed blobs to store videos, AI datasets, NFT media, and large files in a way that’s cost-effective yet robust against node failures. WAL, the native token, fuels this ecosystem — it’s used to pay for storage services, stake for network security, and participate in on-chain governance decisions that shape pricing, penalties, and upgrades. By integrating programmable storage directly into Sui smart contracts, developers can build dApps that reference on-chain data, host decentralized websites, and even support AI training datasets with provable availability. As data becomes a core asset of Web3 and AI, Walrus’s approach offers a practical infrastructure layer that reduces costs compared to traditional decentralized alternatives while keeping decentralization and interoperability front and center. Watermark your future projects with decentralized storage built for scale — that’s the promise of $WAL and #Walrus
