I’m looking at Walrus (WAL) as one of those projects quietly building something important instead of chasing noise. They’re creating a decentralized storage and privacy layer on the Sui blockchain, and the idea feels very grounded. Rather than storing data in one place, Walrus breaks large files into pieces and spreads them across a decentralized network. Even if some parts disappear, the data can still be recovered.
They’re doing this with erasure coding and blob storage, which makes handling big files cheaper and more reliable. WAL is the token that connects everything—users interact with the system, stake, and take part in governance through it.
What stands out to me is the purpose. They’re not just protecting transactions, they’re protecting data itself. Walrus is built for people and apps that want privacy, censorship resistance, and control without relying on traditional cloud providers. That’s a strong foundation.
