Walrus Protocol (WAL) is an innovative decentralized data storage solution built on the Sui blockchain. Optimized for large binary files or blobs, such as images, videos, and datasets, Walrus is engineered to deliver reliable, efficient, and scalable storage for decentralized applications demanding high security and data integrity.
Instead of relying on traditional full replication, Walrus employs advanced erasure coding techniques that reduce replication costs while ensuring data remains available even during network disruptions. Operating as a community-driven network, it divides large files into secure, manageable chunks stored across multiple nodes, thereby eliminating single points of failure.
Integrated with the Sui blockchain for coordination, verification, and seamless payment functionality, Walrus supports flexible access via CLI, SDKs, and HTTP interfaces.
Its cost-effective, fault-tolerant design makes it perfect for modern workloads such as AI models and DeFi platforms, setting a new standard in decentralized storage. Moreover, Walrus Protocol guarantees unmatched scalability for digital growth.
