Problem: IPFS slow, Arweave expensive, Filecoin complex. Solution: Walrus - programmable storage on Sui blockchain. Data becomes on-chain objects that smart contracts can interact with directly.Core Architecture:✅ Sui Coordination Layer: Smart contracts manage payments, availability proofs
✅ DPoS Storage Nodes: WAL staking elects reliable operators
✅ Red Stuff Encoding: 1000x faster than erasure coding
✅ Blob Objects: Sui objects represent storage rights + data metadata
✅ Aggregators/CDNs: Fast retrieval layerKiller Feature: Storage ProgrammabilityTraditional: Store file → Done
Walrus: Store file → Smart contract controls access, monetization, lifecycle
Game devs: Dynamic asset management
AI: Model versioning + access control
SocialFi: Content monetization logic$WAL Tokenomics:Total Supply: Not disclosed (typical 1B range)
Utility: Storage payments + DPoS staking (10-20% APY)
Rewards: Storage fees + protocol emissions
Burn: Potential fee deflation
