The Web3 storage track has been looking for that true game-changer. Walrus Protocol, as a decentralized Blob storage project in the Sui ecosystem, seems to have identified industry pain points—traditional blockchain storage is limited by small file sizes and simply cannot handle large volumes of data like videos and AI datasets.

How to solve it? Walrus's approach is data fragmentation and encoding. It breaks down large files and uses encoding technology to ensure security while significantly reducing storage costs—this combination strategy is indeed rare in previous solutions. The addition of Red Stuff encoding further enhances data transmission efficiency, and the overall system coordination is solid.

From a token perspective, WAL's design is also well thought out: binding the storage payment mechanism gives it practical use cases, governance rights allocation gives the community a voice, and ecosystem incentive design leaves room for participants. This isn't a token with only speculative value—it has real application support behind it.

The storage track needs truly usable solutions, and Walrus Protocol is definitely worth paying attention to in this regard.
