Walrus is revolutionizing decentralized storage on Sui by turning real-world data storage capacity into a tokenized, programmable asset class—perfect for the exploding RWA space.
In 2026, RWAs (real estate, Treasuries, commodities, IP) are hitting trillions in tokenized value, but massive off-chain data (legal docs, audits, videos, IoT streams) remains a huge bottleneck. Walrus solves this with efficient erasure coding (Red Stuff), verifiable blobs stored cheaply & resiliently, while Sui handles on-chain ownership, metadata, access rules, and settlements via programmable objects.
Key wins:
- Secure "off-chain evidence vaults" for compliant RWA data (encrypted + on-chain attestations)
- Partnerships like Plume Network using Walrus as default storage for RWA tokenization
- Powering AI datasets, NFTs, media, and now institutional-grade assets
Storage isn't just utility anymore—it's a tradable, yield-generating RWA. Walrus unlocks the full potential of tokenized real-world assets.
