Why Sui Was the Only Chain That Made Sense for Walrus
Walrus is not portable by accident. Its architecture depends heavily on what Sui offers at the base layer. Sui treats assets as independent objects rather than forcing everything through shared global state. That model fits blob storage perfectly, where each dataset has its own permissions, lifecycle, and ownership logic.
Parallel execution is the second critical factor. Large uploads, retrievals, and permission updates can run concurrently without blocking the entire network. This is what allows Walrus to think in terms of real workloads rather than toy examples.
Fast finality and low fees mean data interaction is not a luxury feature. It becomes economically viable at scale. Walrus does not stretch Sui’s design. It aligns with it. Together they form a system that feels engineered rather than assembled.
