I’m really impressed by what they’re doing with Walrus. At its core, the project is solving a problem most of us don’t think about until it’s too late: how to store large files safely without relying on
centralized servers. They’re breaking files into smaller pieces, using erasure coding to make sure nothing is lost, and spreading them across a network of nodes. Each node only holds part of the data, so your files are secure and can’t be censored or deleted by one company.
The system runs on the Sui blockchain, which keeps track of where all the pieces are and verifies everything works correctly. WAL, the native token, isn’t just for trading. Users pay WAL to store files, and node operators earn it for supporting the network. I’m seeing how this creates a
self-sustaining ecosystem where storage is reliable, cost-effective, and decentralized.
They’re making decentralized storage something real that anyone can use. For me, that’s exciting because it’s not just about technology; it’s about giving people control over their digital lives.
