Traditional cloud storage relies on centralized providers to store and manage data, creating single points of failure, reliance on trust, and susceptibility to outages, censorship, or data loss. Users have limited control over how their data is handled, and long-term storage costs can be high.
Walrus offers a decentralized alternative built on the Sui blockchain, using erasure coding to split and distribute data across multiple nodes. This approach ensures high durability, fault tolerance, and censorship resistance, while reducing storage costs. Users retain control and can verify the integrity of their data at any time. By removing the reliance on centralized servers, Walrus provides a more secure, resilient, and efficient solution for storing digital assets, media, and critical datasets in a decentralized, trustless environment.
