Blockchain applications often struggle to handle large data (like videos, images, AI datasets, or game assets) on-chain. Traditional storage services can be costly or introduce central points of failure. Walrus addresses this gap by providing a decentralized, on-chain storage layer that is scalable, programmable, and optimized for Web3 apps. In other words, Walrus lets developers publish and manage rich data on-chain with the ease of a storage API, while leveraging blockchain security. In this article, we explain Walrus’s design, features, and how to try it out. We cover its tech innovations (like erasure coding), its backing and funding, tokenomics and future roadmap.
