Walrus (WAL) becomes easier to understand when you look at what it’s trying to replace. Most decentralized applications today still depend on centralized cloud storage in the background. The transactions might be on-chain, but the real data media files, application records, user content, datasets often sits on servers controlled by a single provider. That creates a weak point.If the storage provider changes policies, restricts access, or removes content, the application may technically still exist on chain but its core data layer becomes fragile.The Walrus protocol is designed to remove that weakness by combining secure and private blockchain interactions with decentralized data storage. Built on the Sui blockchain, it relies on blob storage to handle large files efficiently and uses erasure coding to distribute those files across a decentralized network. The key detail is resilience: data isn’t stored in one place, and the system is designed so files can still be reconstructed even if some storage parts go offline. That’s what makes the protocol attractive for serious use cases, including applications and enterprises that need cost-efficient storage without giving one company full control over availability. And because Walrus also supports governance and staking, WAL is not just a payment token it becomes part of how the network organizes incentives and long-term participation.
