Chapter 5 — Integration with Sui Blockchain:
5.1 Sui as the Control Layer
Walrus leverages the Sui blockchain for:
🌐 Coordination of blob metadata,
🔐 Proofs of availability,
📜 Smart contract interaction,
💸 Payment settlement and stake management.
Sui’s object-oriented design makes it well-suited for representing blob metadata, storage commitments, and availability proofs as native objects on chain.
5.2 Programmable Storage
Walrus enables developers to:
Check if storage exists and how long it’s valid,
Extend the lifetime of stored blobs via smart contracts,
Delete blobs programmatically under certain condition.
This makes storage not just static data it becomes an active, smart contract-integrated resource.
