I’m looking at Walrus as long-term infrastructure rather than a short-term crypto trend. It’s designed to store and serve large data objects — things like media files, app frontends, datasets, and AI artifacts — without relying on centralized cloud providers. Walrus does this by encoding each file and distributing pieces across a decentralized network of storage nodes. You don’t need every node online to recover the data, which makes the system resilient by design. Sui plays a key role as the coordination layer, handling ownership, payments, and verification without storing the data itself. WAL is used to pay for storage periods and to stake with operators who maintain uptime and performance. Over time, fees are streamed to those operators instead of paid all at once. Seal adds another layer by allowing encrypted data with programmable access rules, which is important for private or gated content. The long-term goal looks clear: make decentralized data reliable enough that apps and enterprises can treat it as normal infrastructure, not an experiment.
