Decentralized storage is evolving beyond simple archiving, and @Walrus 🦭/acc @undefined s leading the charge on Sui! 🌐
As AI becomes more data-hungry, the need for verifiable, cost-effective storage for "blobs" (large binary objects) is critical. Unlikely traditional cloud services, Walrus uses its "Red Stuff" erasure coding to ensure high availability and security without the massive overhead.
The utility of the $WAL token is at the heart of this ecosystem powering storage payments, incentivizing node operators, and securing the network through staking. With institutional interest growing (look at the Grayscale Walrus Trust!) and massive mainnet scaling on the 2026 roadmap, this is definitely a protocol to watch for anyone interested in the future of Web3 infrastructure. 🦭
