Walrus The Missing Data Layer In Decentralization
One of the most overlooked weaknesses in web3 is where data actually lives
Many onchain applications still depend on offchain centralized storage which quietly reintroduces trust
Verified builders and researchers in the Sui ecosystem have repeatedly highlighted that true decentralization is incomplete without decentralized data availability
Walrus directly addresses this gap
It provides decentralized private and censorship resistant storage designed for real application scale
By using blob based storage and erasure coding Walrus spreads data across the network in recoverable fragments instead of duplicating entire files
This design improves durability reduces cost and removes single points of failure
It aligns with how modern infrastructure needs to work not how hype wants it to sound
That is why Walrus is increasingly described by credible voices as infrastructure not an app
It does not compete for attention it quietly becomes necessary
