Walrus aims to provide a programmable, decentralized storage layer for Web3 and AI use cases, enabling:
Cryptographically verifiable storage of large data with proofs of availability.
Web-hosting and dynamic content storage that integrates with smart contracts.
Cross-chain support and integration with Ethereum and Solana ecosystems through Sui’s infrastructure.
Walrus mainnet launched in March 2025, and the WAL token was quickly adopted and listed on major exchanges.
Early community members could claim WAL through NFT-linked airdrops based on engagement and participation.
