Here’s how it works. When someone stores a large file on Walrus, the file is broken into many coded fragments and spread across a group of storage nodes. The system is built so that even if some of those nodes go offline or fail, the system can still reconstruct the file from the pieces that remain. This improves resilience and faults tolerance while lowering overall cost compared to simple data replication models. What makes it special is that every stored piece becomes part of the blockchain as an object smart contracts can interact with. This means developers can build applications that don’t just store data, but interact with it in programmable ways — like deleting or updating files using blockchain logic.
