How valuable is data in the AI era? How significant are the risks of centralized storage—tampering, loss threats, platform sudden shutdowns? These issues have led many to seek more reliable solutions.

Walrus Protocol provides an answer through concrete actions. Built on the Sui blockchain, it is a decentralized storage network that combines performance and security, capable of handling massive amounts of unstructured data—from high-definition images and videos to AI model training sets—all supported. More importantly, it introduces verifiable and programmable capabilities, making data truly ownable and transferable digital assets.

The mainnet has officially launched, with the WAL token serving three roles: payment, staking, and governance. Notably, its fee model features a stable pricing mechanism that effectively isolates the impact of price fluctuations, so users no longer need to worry about storage costs suddenly skyrocketing due to black swan events.

Is decentralized storage=expensive and inefficient? Walrus is breaking this stereotype. High throughput, low latency, trusted data marketplace—these features together are drawing a new landscape for Web3 data infrastructure.
