Walrus and the Case for Separating Execution From Persistence
Fast execution and long-term data persistence solve different problems, but they are often forced into the same layer. In the Sui ecosystem, execution is optimized through an object-based model that allows transactions to run in parallel with minimal contention. Persistence, however, has different requirements. Data must remain available, verifiable and manageable beyond the lifetime of a single transaction. By separating execution from persistence, applications can stay efficient without carrying unnecessary data weight on chain. Storage layers like @Walrus 🦭/acc allow Sui to remain focused on execution while persistence is handled independently, creating cleaner system boundaries and better scalability over time.
