Walrus Is Quietly Becoming the Data Layer Behind Real Web3 Apps
When I first saw this Walrus × Myriad visual, I didn’t treat it like just another partnership graphic. To me it looked like a blueprint. Walrus sitting in the center with wallets, files, tokens, and data floating into it tells a very clear story — this isn’t about branding, it’s about where Web3 data is going to live.
Myriad is building apps. Walrus is becoming the place where those apps store and verify everything. That’s the shift most people are missing. Everyone keeps chasing narratives, but the real power always sits in infrastructure. Whoever owns the data layer ends up controlling the ecosystem.
What makes this interesting is how naturally this fits with Walrus’s recent moves — Baselight, Plume, Myriad, all plugging into the same storage and availability backbone. That’s not random growth, that’s an ecosystem forming around a core layer.
I’ve seen this pattern before in Web2. Nobody cared about AWS at the start either. They only noticed when everything was already running on it. Walrus feels like it’s walking down that same path, but for on-chain data.
This isn’t hype. It’s quietly positioning itself as the place where real Web3 data lives.
