I’ll be honest — when I first heard about @Walrus 🦭/acc , my reaction was basically, “Okay… another storage + privacy thing on a new chain.” I’ve seen enough of those come and go. But after watching it sit quietly in the Sui ecosystem for a while, it started to click why people keep bringing it up.
What I noticed is that #Walrus n’t really trying to be flashy. It feels more like infrastructure you don’t notice until you need it. For dApps, especially NFTs and on-chain games, having somewhere to store media files without relying on AWS is a real pain point. Walrus seems built for that — big files, spread out, harder to censor, and not insanely expensive.
AI data was another one I didn’t think about at first. Models need datasets. Not tokens. Not memes. Actual data. Walrus feels like it’s positioning itself as a place where that stuff can live without one company holding the keys.
For enterprises, the pitch is quieter but obvious: backups, internal data, archives. Things that don’t need hype, just reliability and privacy. And for Web3 devs, it’s one less centralized dependency hiding under a “decentralized” app.
That said, adoption is still the question. Storage only matters if people trust it long-term. Walrus hasn’t fully proven that yet.
Still, it’s one of those projects I keep an eye on — not because it’s loud, but because it isn’t.
