Happy New Year from everyone at Walrus!

2025 was incredible. 2026 is going to be even better.. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Thank you to every builder, validator, node operator, and community member who made this year amazing.

Here's to the next chapter

Walrus isn't just storage, isn't just a data layer, but the data layer for the entire internet's future 🤯

like calling the internet "fancy mail" in 1995

@Walrus 🦭/acc Who's still awake building? Just me? 🦭

New Year's Eve hits different when you're deep in code

No judgment, we see you 👀✨

Happy New Year to the real ones still here

my therapist: you can't judge people based on their data storage preferences

me: bet

still single, still storing on Walrus

An L1 alone isn't enough. Builders need a full stack.

Sui delivers everything working together from day one. Walrus for data at scale.

No patchwork integrations. Just build.

Friendly reminder: the data layer is being rewritten. Right now.

Because decentralized apps shouldn't rely on centralized data

The internet was built on the assumption that servers would stay up forever.

They don't. Links break. Platforms shut down. Data becomes inaccessible.

Walrus changes that. A decentralized data layer that doesn't depend on any single server staying online.

Things that shouldn't depend on centralized servers:

- Your data
- Your app's uptime
- Your users' access

The Future of Decentralized Data: Why Walrus ($WAL) is the Storage Backbone of 2026
The decentralized storage landscape has evolved rapidly, but one protocol is currently leading the charge for high-performance, cost-effective data management: Walrus Protocol. As we move further into 2026, the demand for storing massive AI datasets, 4K media, and complex dApp metadata has skyrocketed, and @walrusprotocol is proving to be the scalable solution the industry was waiting for.
What is Walrus Protocol?
Built on the Sui blockchain, Walrus is a decentralized storage and data availability protocol designed specifically for "blobs"—large binary files that traditional blockchains struggle to handle. Unlike older storage solutions, Walrus doesn't just "store" data; it makes it programmable, allowing developers to manage data lifecycles directly through smart contracts.
The Power of "Red Stuff" Encoding
The secret to its efficiency lies in its proprietary Red Stuff technology. Instead of simply replicating full files across multiple nodes (which is expensive and slow), Walrus uses advanced 2D erasure coding.
* Fragmentation: Files are broken into tiny pieces called "slivers."
* Resilience: Because of the mathematical magic of Red Stuff, the original file can be reconstructed even if up to two-thirds of the storage nodes go offline.
* Cost Efficiency: This method allows Walrus to offer storage at a fraction of the cost—sometimes up to 100x cheaper than legacy competitors—without sacrificing security.
The Role of $WAL
The native token, $WAL, is the heartbeat of the ecosystem. It serves four primary functions:
* Storage Payments: Users pay for storage duration and capacity using $WAL.
* Staking: Holders can stake $WAL to secure the network and earn rewards.
* Node Incentives: Storage providers are compensated in $WAL for proving they are reliably storing data.
* Governance: Token holders help shape the future of the protocol by voting on key upgrades and economic parameters.

#walrus $WAL Every day, millions of consumers click into an app and browse the data collected by their wearable devices. From sleep quality to activity levels and even location, consumer wearables generate an overwhelming amount of data from the almost
All of this adds up to a remarkable amount of personal information — information most people wouldn’t share willingly with a total stranger. But where does all that data actually go once it leaves your device?

Spoiler: It's sitting on someone else's servers

The answer is simpler than you might think. For most wearables, data goes onto a centralized database: typically cloud servers hosted by AWS, Google Cloud, or Microsoft Azure. So every time you sync your device and update data, you’re trusting not only that the maker of the wearable will protect your data, but also that the storage solution they’re using will do the same.

Which isn’t always the case — In 2021, an unsecured third party database exposed

from Fitbit and Apple users. And get this: there are basically no regulations like HIPAA protecting wearable data. Your fitness tracker info is actually LESS secure than your medical records.

That’s a lot of blind trust.
