Blockchain technology excels in transactions, ownership verification, and evidence preservation, but reveals inherent limitations when handling massive data storage. This is precisely the core significance of the Walrus project.

Walrus addresses a pain point—how to meet high-capacity data storage needs while maintaining decentralization and privacy protection. The project’s innovative approach using erasure coding technology is noteworthy: by distributing large files across the blob storage layer of the Sui blockchain, system stability is greatly enhanced. Data is no longer isolated on a single node; even if some nodes go offline, data loss is prevented.

This architecture appeals to developers because—when building Web3 applications—they do not need to overly rely on centralized storage providers, reducing risks and increasing security. Enterprise-level applications also benefit from more flexible deployment options.

Beyond the technical aspects, the WAL ecosystem also offers staking, governance, and participation mechanisms, enabling users to engage in ecosystem development from multiple dimensions. For standard Web3 applications to truly be usable and reliable, such a storage infrastructure is essential.
