@Walrus 🦭/acc is changing the way we think about storing massive files in a decentralized world. Developed by Mysten Labs, it is built specifically for “blobs” large, unstructured data like 4K videos, AI training sets, and other rich media that traditional blockchains struggle to handle.
At the heart of Walrus is Red Stuff, an innovative erasure-coding technology that breaks data into smaller pieces called “slivers.” Even if two-thirds of storage nodes go offline, your data can still be fully reconstructed and accessed. By using the Sui blockchain as a lightweight coordination layer, Walrus achieves efficiency levels up to 100x higher than previous decentralized storage systems.
The network is powered by the $WAL token, which incentivizes node operators to provide fast and reliable access to data. Walrus isn’t just an alternative to cloud storage, it’s a permanent, programmable foundation for the next generation of unstoppable applications.
