I’m noticing a shift in what serious builders care about, and it’s not just faster transactions anymore, it’s whether the data behind an app can stay available, affordable, and independent when pressure shows up. Walrus feels relevant because they’re working on decentralized storage for large files on Sui in a way that aims to stay practical, not theoretical, using distribution and recovery techniques so data does not rely on a single provider. If apps want to serve real users for years, the storage layer cannot be a weak link, and it becomes a real advantage when a network is designed to keep content retrievable even when parts of the system fail or go offline. We’re seeing a world where privacy minded teams, onchain products, and everyday creators all need a place for data that is resilient and verifiable, while staking and governance help align the people securing the network with the health of the protocol itself. You’re early to notice this kind of foundation, and that’s something to respect, Walrus is a thoughtful direction.
