Here’s the truth: most people want Web3 apps, but they still depend on Web2 hosting. Even if your project is on-chain, your website, files, images, and metadata are often stored on centralized servers. If that server goes down, the “decentralized app” becomes unusable.
Walrus fixes this using two powerful tools: ✅ Walrus Sites
✅ Walrus HTTP API
Walrus Sites
This is a major use-case that builders can directly ship. It lets you deploy static sites through Walrus — meaning websites can be hosted using decentralized storage, not centralized servers. This changes everything for NFT collections, DAOs, documentation hubs, and Web3 landing pages. If your site is hosted on Walrus, it becomes far more resistant to takedowns and downtime.
Walrus HTTP API
Now here’s where adoption becomes easy: Walrus provides an HTTP API which means developers don’t always need complex blockchain integrations at the start. You can interact with Walrus storage using normal web development flow — and still benefit from decentralized storage.
Even better: Walrus API responses include event IDs which can be traced on Sui explorers or SDKs. That gives apps transparency and verification — meaning Web2 simplicity with Web3 trust.
So in a continuous builder path:
Start with HTTP API for fast integration
Scale into Walrus Sites for hosting
Later optimize via SDK/CLI for deeper control
This is why Walrus feels “product-ready” — it supports normal developers, not only hardcore blockchain engineers.
