Walrus is designed with a long-term vision where data becomes a first-class citizen in Web3. Today’s blockchains excel at value transfer but struggle with large data. Walrus solves this by introducing a decentralized storage layer that works seamlessly with smart contracts. Applications can store massive files off-chain while keeping proof and control on-chain through Sui. Advanced erasure coding protects data against failures, making the system both efficient and reliable. WAL tokens are used to pay for storage, reward node operators, and participate in governance. As demand for decentralized media, AI models, and digital ownership grows, Walrus provides the missing bridge between blockchains and real-world data needs.
