As the internet evolves into Web3, decentralization is becoming the foundation of digital innovation. Yet one critical layer is often overlooked — data storage. Many blockchain applications still depend on centralized cloud services to store files and metadata, which quietly reintroduces risks like outages, censorship, and third-party control. A decentralized future cannot rely on centralized storage, and this is where @walrusprotocol steps in.
Walrus is a decentralized storage protocol built on the Sui ecosystem, designed to provide security, resilience, and scalability. Instead of keeping data in one location, Walrus uses erasure coding to break data into smaller pieces and distribute them across multiple nodes. This system ensures that even if some nodes fail, the data can still be recovered and verified.
This approach brings major benefits to Web3 users and developers. It removes single points of failure, increases censorship resistance, and allows applications to operate without depending on a central authority. In a world where digital ownership matters, Walrus helps return control of data to users rather than corporations.
