In today's rapidly evolving blockchain ecosystem, many projects pursue full coverage of features—storage, computation, smart contracts—all at once. But Walrus has taken a completely opposite approach.

This protocol has a clear positioning: I only do storage, leaving the rest to the experts. It doesn't handle computation or build a smart contract layer, focusing entirely on making storage as reliable, cost-efficient, and decentralized as possible. Computational tasks are directly delegated to the Sui mainnet or other specialized computation layers.

This "less is more" design strategy may seem restrained, but in reality, it makes the entire system clearer: you can accurately assess its security boundaries, the cost structure is more transparent, and you're not fooled by hidden feature discounts. Moreover, focusing itself reduces system complexity and attack surface.

Think carefully—truly successful protocols in the blockchain industry are often not because they can do everything, but because they have the courage to refuse most things. Walrus embodies this philosophy—during an era of feature expansion, it carved out a niche with a minimalist design.
