@Walrus 🦭/acc recently launched its first public Testnet with key updates that give developers more control over their stored data. One of the most user facing new features is optional blob deletion. This lets developers mark stored objects as deletable, and if needed remove them before their full epoch period ends. Blob deletion helps reduce overall cost and gives teams finer control of storage budgets. The Testnet also added improved governance tooling and updated Move contracts so builders can write custom logic that works directly with stored data. Another big change is the upgrade to Walrus Sites, which now supports client‑side routing and custom HTTP headers. These updates open new possibilities for decentralized websites and interactive apps that need flexible storage behavior. With the Testnet release the older Devnet instance was deprecated, so developers are encouraged to migrate their projects to the newest environment. These improvements show the Walrus team is actively building features that real developers care about, not just a basic storage layer. Programmable deletion logic coupled with enhanced site capabilities is a solid step toward giving Web3 apps storage features that rival traditional cloud services. This evolution makes decentralized storage more practical and cost effective for a wider range of applications.
