I’m seeing Walrus as a response to a problem most people ignore.
Blockchains handle value well but they do not handle data.
Apps still store images files and front ends on centralized servers.
That breaks the idea of decentralization.
Walrus changes this by separating roles.
The blockchain manages rules ownership and proof.
Storage nodes hold the actual data.
They’re not copying files everywhere.
Data is encoded split and spread across many nodes.
If some nodes fail the file still exists.
They’re building this on Sui so storage becomes programmable.
Apps can check if data exists renew storage or connect access to smart contracts.
The goal is simple. Remove silent trust from data.
If it becomes reliable at scale developers can finally build apps that are decentralized in practice not just in theory.
