Walrus is a decentralized data storage protocol built on the Sui blockchain that helps people and developers securely store large files and data in a distributed way rather than relying on a single company’s server. I’m fascinated by how it breaks files into encoded pieces using a special technology called Red Stuff and spreads those pieces across many storage nodes so that even if some nodes go offline your data stays accessible. The system keeps only metadata on the blockchain while the heavy data fragments live across the network, letting smart contracts verify availability without needing to download everything. Users pay for storage with the native WAL token which also helps secure the network through staking and gives holders a voice in governance. Walrus aims to lower storage costs and make data programmable so developers can build apps with resilient backend storage. I think this approach matters because as we store more content and AI datasets grow, we need solutions that are both cost‑efficient and true to web3 decentralization values. �
