Walrus is solving a core problem in Web3: data is often ignored until it matters. $WAL provides high-speed, cost-effective, and persistent storage for large files—videos, images, AI datasets—on the Sui blockchain. We believe decentralized storage should be as reliable and accessible as liquidity.
Walrus uses RedStuff, a 2D erasure coding system that splits and distributes data across nodes. Even if two-thirds of nodes fail, files remain intact, cutting storage costs by up to 80%. Its programmable storage links every file to a Sui object, letting developers control updates, deletion, and access with smart contracts.
The $WAL token powers the network. Users pay $WAL to store and retrieve data. Node operators stake $WAL to secure the network and earn rewards. Holders vote on upgrades, while tokens are burned per transaction to manage supply.
Walrus supports AI datasets, NFT multimedia, decentralized sites, and user-generated content for Web3 games and social apps. Mainnet launched in early 2025. $WAL is listed on Bitget and Crypto.com and featured in Binance’s HODLer Airdrop. Partnerships include Tusky, Akord, and Gata.
Walrus isn’t just storage—it’s the backbone of Web3 apps, giving developers and users confidence that data will persist. Speed, programmability, and reliability make Walrus the plumbing for a decentralized internet where data lives freely and securely.
