Upcoming Features to Watch in Walrus

Walrus is moving fast as a programmable, on-chain data layer, and a few standout features are starting to shape where it’s headed. First up, there’s the Quilt batch storage rollout. This makes it way easier and cheaper to store tons of small files — think things like NFT media, chat histories, or logs. Quilt’s native API bundles a bunch of files into a single storage unit, so developers get lower costs and less hassle, but they can still access every file on its own.

Next, Walrus is pushing updates to its infrastructure to handle more users without losing its decentralized core. Stuff like dynamic sharding and better incentives for node operators mean the network can scale up without turning into just another centralized platform.

The ecosystem’s getting more flexible, too. On-chain access control is coming in through integrations like Seal, which brings encrypted, permissioned data into play. Now people can build things like secure AI training datasets or content services that only token holders can access.

And it doesn’t stop there. Walrus is teaming up with partners like Veea for edge computing and is rolling out stronger smart contract tools. All this opens the door for more decentralized apps, AI, gaming, and media projects to run on Walrus.@Walrus 🦭/acc #Walrus $WAL
