Walrus stores large data blobs in a decentralized way by encoding and splitting them into fragments that many storage nodes hold, so files remain accessible even if many nodes go offline. Only metadata and availability proofs are kept on the Sui blockchain, letting smart contracts verify storage without holding all data. Developers pay for and reserve storage epochs, and certified blobs stay available for the agreed period. This makes Walrus cost efficient, resilient, and tightly integrated with programmable on-chain logic.
