Walrus has officially launched Quilt a new feature designed to change how small files are stored at large scale. Since the Walrus main network went live the community has grown fast. Developers are using Walrus in creative ways and adoption continues to rise. Today Walrus already supports hundreds of projects and stores a huge amount of data for builders across Web3.
Walrus was created as a global data layer for onchain builders. Many projects moved to Walrus because older storage options were slow costly or hard to verify. Teams working on digital media AI tools news platforms and design libraries all chose Walrus because it is fast flexible and easy to trust.
As Walrus grew one clear need appeared. Many builders needed to store very large numbers of small files. Until now users had to bundle files themselves to reduce cost. This added extra work and made systems harder to manage. Walrus built Quilt to remove this problem and make small file storage feel natural and simple.
Quilt is now officially live. It is a batch storage solution with a clear and easy API. It helps developers store large numbers of small files like NFT media documents chat data logs and AI messages in a clean and cost friendly way. With Quilt Walrus now supports all file sizes on one platform.
Quilt works by grouping many small files into a single storage unit. Instead of paying full cost for each small file users can store them together. This greatly reduces overhead and lowers total cost. Small files that once felt expensive to store now become easy to manage at scale.
Quilt also helps reduce gas costs related to storage actions. This makes it a strong choice for apps that need frequent updates or high activity. Even though files are stored together each file can still be accessed on its own. There is no need to download everything just to get one file.
Some early projects are already using Quilt. A privacy focused file platform uses Quilt to handle many small uploads during busy times. This improved performance and reduced costs. An AI data platform uses Quilt to store many small training files while keeping ownership and access rules for each file. Quilt removed the need for manual packing and saved time for developers.
Quilt is especially useful for apps that deal with many small pieces of data. This includes social apps chat systems AI agent messages sensor data NFT media and metadata. These apps need speed low delay and low cost. Quilt supports all of this in one place.
Quilt also supports built in metadata. Developers can tag files and search them easily. This makes it simple to organize content without extra systems. Files stay easy to find even at large scale.
Quilt is now available on the Walrus test network and will go live on the main network with the next release. Walrus invites builders to start testing Quilt and explore new ways to build with data.
With Quilt Walrus takes another step toward its goal. That goal is to help builders fully use their data in a fast flexible and open way.
