I’m always curious about projects that actually solve real problems. Walrus is one of them. They’re building a decentralized storage network on the Sui blockchain that makes storing large files simple, secure, and private. Instead of relying on a central server, Walrus splits files into small pieces and spreads them across multiple nodes. Even if many nodes go offline, the data can still be rebuilt, so nothing is lost.
The WAL token powers the system. I’m seeing people use it to pay for storage, stake it to support nodes, and participate in governance to help shape the network. Behind the scenes, Sui keeps track of all file pieces, ensures integrity, and coordinates rewards. The network also reshuffles data in cycles called epochs, which makes it resilient and reliable.
I think what makes Walrus special is how practical it is. Developers can use it to build decentralized apps, store AI datasets, or host virtual worlds, and everyday users can safely store large files without depending on a single company. It’s privacy and freedom made real.
