I’m excited to share about Walrus, a project that’s rethinking how we store and protect our data. They’re building a decentralized platform on the Sui blockchain where files aren’t just kept in one place. Instead, each file is broken into pieces, encoded, and spread across a network of independent nodes. This makes the system resilient so that even if some nodes go offline, your data is safe.
They’re using WAL tokens as the heart of the system. Users pay with WAL to store files, node operators stake WAL to maintain the network, and everyone can participate in governance. It’s designed to reward people who contribute to the ecosystem while keeping everything secure and private.
What I like is how it’s practical for real-world use. Large files like videos, AI datasets, or app data can be stored efficiently without relying on centralized servers. I’m seeing a future where developers and individuals can rely on decentralized storage without sacrificing privacy or control, and Walrus is building the foundation for that future.
