Walrus is a project built around one simple idea. Data should not disappear because a company fails or changes rules. I’m drawn to Walrus because it focuses on storage which is something Web3 quietly depends on.
They’re building a decentralized storage protocol on the Sui blockchain. Instead of keeping files on one server Walrus splits large files into smaller pieces and spreads them across many independent nodes. This means data can still be recovered even if parts of the network go offline.
Walrus uses its native token WAL to power the system. Users pay WAL to store data. Storage providers stake WAL to prove they are reliable. I like that the token is tied directly to real usage rather than empty promises.
The system runs in defined periods where storage providers are rewarded for good performance and penalized for failure. This keeps the network honest without relying on trust.
Walrus is not loud. They’re focused on building reliable infrastructure that developers creators and users can depend on long term.
