Walrus is a decentralized data storage protocol designed to provide secure, scalable, and censorship-resistant storage for Web3 applications. Unlike traditional cloud storage, Walrus distributes data across a decentralized network, reducing single-point failures and improving data availability. It is built to support large data objects such as media files, NFTs, blockchain data, and application state, making it suitable for modern decentralized ecosystems.
One of Walrus’s key features is its strong focus on data integrity and verification. Data stored on Walrus can be cryptographically verified, ensuring that users always retrieve the correct and untampered version. This makes it especially useful for dApps that require trustless storage without relying on centralized providers.
Walrus also aims to optimize storage costs and performance by efficiently encoding and distributing data among nodes. By combining decentralization with practical performance, Walrus positions itself as a reliable storage layer for the next generation of Web3, DeFi, and NFT-based applications.
