Walrus was built for a simple reason. Blockchains move value well but they struggle with large data. Files are heavy expensive and fragile when stored the wrong way. Walrus changes that by creating a decentralized storage layer designed for real world data. Instead of copying full files everywhere they’re encoded and spread across many independent nodes so the data can be rebuilt even if parts go missing.
I’m drawn to Walrus because it treats failure as normal not as an exception. Nodes can go offline and the system keeps working. They’re using Sui to coordinate rules and verification while the storage network focuses on holding data efficiently.
The purpose is clear. Protect memory without central control. If data survives then applications survive. That’s what Walrus is really trying to do.
