Walrus is a decentralized data storage protocol built on the Sui blockchain, and privacy is one of its important design goals—but in a Web3-native way, not full anonymity like privacy coins.
Here’s a clear breakdown of how Walrus handles privacy:
1️⃣ Data Is Not Public by Default
Files stored on Walrus are not readable by everyone
Access depends on cryptographic permissions
Only users/apps with the correct keys can read the data
👉 This protects sensitive content like:
NFTs metadata
Private media files
App-specific user data
