Walrus Makes Storage Durable Across Operator Turnover
Most storage solutions assume operators will remain stable over time, but real environments don’t behave that way. Providers exit markets, machines fail, priorities shift, and infrastructure gets reallocated. Walrus is built with operator churn as a baseline condition. Objects are split with erasure coding and distributed across providers so availability doesn’t collapse when a few nodes disappear. WAL incentives reinforce the protocol’s expectation: persistence must outlast the original uploader, not just survive day one. Sui coordinates proofs and lifecycle tasks without forcing the chain to store large payloads. This lets applications rely on the network’s continuity instead of hoping a single provider never changes direction.
