Decentralized storage often fails at scale because it’s inefficient or too expensive. Walrus approaches this differently.
Here’s the core idea: • Files are split into fragments
• Fragments are encoded using erasure coding
• Data is distributed across many independent nodes
• Only a portion is needed to recover the full file
This design makes the network: ✔ Fault tolerant
✔ Cost-efficient
✔ Resistant to censorship
Walrus coordinates this system on Sui, benefiting from fast execution and scalable object management. The result is storage that works for applications, enterprises, and individual users—not just demos.
WAL tokens are used to pay for storage, incentivize node operators, and govern protocol changes.
Infrastructure like this is how Web3 becomes usable beyond speculation.
