Built by the experts at Mysten Labs, the team behind the Sui blockchain, Walrus is not just another storage solution; it is a programmable storage layer. Unlike traditional decentralized systems that can be slow or expensive, Walrus uses a novel erasure-coding scheme called "RedStuff." This allows the network to split data into fragments and distribute them across nodes with high efficiency, ensuring that files are accessible even if a significant portion of the network goes offline.
