Blockchains excel at processing transactions, yet they do not automatically maintain a permanent history. When nodes clear out data or providers disconnect, retrieving and confirming essential records becomes a struggle. The Sui Archival System, utilizing Walrus, resolves this issue. Currently, 30TB of Sui checkpoint history is verifiable and publicly available, operating without proprietary databases or any individual provider.
This concept extends well beyond Sui, offering a design pattern suitable for any framework that values historical data. Whether for AI decision-making, settlement, governance, or risk management, the approach remains effective regardless of the data type. This tool is open source, chain-agnostic, and ready for immediate use 🦭
