Brothers, recently while digging for treasures in the Sui ecosystem, I was completely amazed by @Walrus 🦭/acc this project! Imagine, when you usually store files using Amazon Cloud or Google Cloud, you always worry about data being censored or lost due to a single point of failure, right?
Walrus is here to solve this pain point — it is a decentralized storage protocol based on the Sui blockchain that can easily handle large files, such as videos, images, or AI datasets. It achieves efficient and reliable storage through erasure coding (simply put, it slices data for distributed storage, allowing for recovery even if some nodes go down).
Why do I think $WAL has so much potential? First, the cost is incredibly low!
Traditional cloud storage prices rise every year, but Walrus can ensure data availability with a minimal replication factor (4-5 times), saving money and resisting censorship, making it perfect for NFT creators, DeFi applications, or AI agents. For example, I tried uploading a high-definition video, and the storage process was super smooth. I can also access the data through smart contract programming, which is a revolutionary innovation in Web3. Compared to Filecoin or Arweave, Walrus focuses more on large-scale blob storage (blobs are large chunks of binary data), ensuring that data is not just stored but can also be monetized—once the data market takes off, those of us holding $WAL will benefit.
Walrus is still in its early stages, with high community engagement, and the Mysten Labs team has an impressive background (creators of Sui). I have already made a small investment; what about you? Let's discuss your views!#walrus #SUİ #DecentralizedStorage
