The way @Walrus 🦭/acc Network is being developed shows that people are starting to think about blockchain infrastructure in a way. They want it to be able to handle a lot of things at the time and be easy to scale up. Walrus Network makes sure that data is always available and safe which is really important. This means that applications can use files in a decentralized way without slowing down the main blockchain. Walrus Network is doing this by making data storage a top priority, which is a change, from how things were done before. This change helps applications to work with assets without putting too much extra data on the main blockchain.
The Walrus system is built around a way of working called delegated proof of stake. This helps the storage nodes on the Walrus system work together and agree on things. When you use the Walrus network it makes a strong system that can handle big files. It can add, get and check these files without needing a lot of power to run a node. People who build things with the Walrus system can make, remove and change data, on the Walrus system. This makes it possible to have storage workflows that can be programmed which was really hard to do with Web3 before the Walrus system came along.
The Walrus community is making some progress. We are seeing a lot of tools and user interfaces being created around Walrus. Some projects are working on things like explorers and software development kits that make it easier for developers to work with Walrus. There are also interfaces for hosting that help people use Walrus for storing data. All these tools are making it simpler for people to use Walrus and try out ideas for storing data. This is really good because it means people can do more with Walrus than just use it to store files. They can actually build interesting applications, with Walrus.
Walrus is really important when it comes to working with omnichain data networks.
Chainbase picked Walrus to store an amount of raw blockchain data we are talking hundreds of terabytes and they wanted to make sure it was decentralized.
When you put Walruss storage with Chainbases multi-chain streaming frameworks developers can get verified data from all over the place without needing permission.
This means Walrus and Chainbase can help people make things like better analytics and artificial intelligence and even applications that work across different chains.
Walrus is key, to making all of this happen because it helps people work with data in a way.
The Walrus design also deals with performance and cost issues that have stopped people from using storage in the past. The Walrus protocol breaks down. Codes data in a smart way, which means it does not have extra copies that are not needed but it is still safe and can be put back together. This makes it possible for the Walrus protocol to handle sets of data, which means it can be used for more complex things like gaming, virtual reality and sending media to people. The Walrus protocol is really good, at this.
The thing about Walrus is that it does not work with Sui. Walrus can actually work with blockchain systems too. This means developers can build apps that store things and work with networks. Walrus can do this because it is designed to work with systems. This is what people in the industry want. They want systems that can work together and share things. They want to be able to use the parts of each system to make something new. This way Walrus and other blockchain ecosystems can work together. Make something really useful. Walrus is good, at storing things. It can help other blockchain ecosystems by doing what it does best.
The Walrus community and the Walrus foundation do a lot of things besides technology. They help the Walrus community and the ecosystem around it to grow. When more apps use special storage features that can be programmed the Walrus community will have a say in how the Walrus protocol changes over time. This includes things like updating parameters and figuring out incentives for the Walrus community. The Walrus community will make decisions in a way, which means that a lot of people in the Walrus community will be involved in making these decisions, for the Walrus protocol.
With programmable storage now live on mainnet, how might decentralized applications rethink data handling in areas such as identity, decentralized media, or AI model hosting?
