Walrus ($WAL ) is taking a practical approach to one of Web3’s most overlooked problems: data centralization. While many decentralized apps run on-chain, their underlying files often still depend on centralized servers. Walrus is designed to remove that weak point.
Built on the Sui blockchain, Walrus enables applications to store data in a truly decentralized manner. Files are broken into distributed fragments, allowing data to remain accessible even if parts of the network go offline. This architecture prioritizes availability, resilience, and long-term reliability.
The $WAL token powers the ecosystem by aligning incentives across participants—supporting network operation, governance, and decentralized storage integrity. Rather than relying on a single provider, Walrus ensures that data ownership and control remain with the network itself.
In short, Walrus brings decentralization beyond transactions and into the data layer—where it matters most.
