Why Real Apps Demand More Than “Cool” Storage
Small demo apps can get by with storage that is slow, unreliable, or fragmented. But real applications—think streaming platforms, large-scale games, analytics dashboards—cannot survive under that kind of stress. Every lost image, missing log file, or corrupted dataset can become a catastrophic failure.
Walrus was designed for this reality. It uses blob storage on Sui to handle large, unstructured data—images, video, datasets, and more. Erasure coding ensures that even if parts of the network go offline, files can still be reconstructed. That’s not a gimmick; it’s a necessity for production-grade apps.
And then there’s WAL, the token that powers the network. Staking, incentives, and governance are baked into the system to maintain honesty, resiliency, and long-term sustainability. By aligning storage, security, and economics, Walrus provides infrastructure that real apps can depend on—not just demos that look good on a slide.
