I’m following Walrus because they’re building a decentralized storage network that feels both practical and visionary.
They’re on the Sui blockchain, and their system is designed to make storage resilient, private, and cost effective.
Instead of storing entire files in one place, they break files into pieces using erasure coding and distribute them across many nodes.
Even if parts of the network go offline, the data can be reconstructed, which makes the network highly reliable.
They’re also making storage programmable.
Files become digital objects on the blockchain, meaning developers can control access, updates, and expiration automatically.
It’s a system that integrates directly with decentralized applications, letting creators and developers use storage in ways that were impossible with traditional solutions.
The WAL token powers the network.
It’s used to pay for storage, stake nodes, and participate in governance.
I’m seeing staking as a way for the community to support reliability while earning rewards.
WAL’s value is tied to network usage, so as more people store data, the system grows in strength and utility.
The long term goal is ambitious but clear.
They’re aiming for a world where data belongs to its users, censorship is minimized, and centralized control is reduced.
I’m watching Walrus as they expand across applications and potentially other blockchains.
They’re building a foundation for the next generation of decentralized storage that is practical, secure, and designed for real world adoption.
