Imagine, is there a way to protect transaction privacy without being tied down by traditional cloud services? The Walrus protocol has done something interesting on Sui — it combines privacy-friendly on-chain interactions with decentralized storage.



How does it work? Through erasure coding and blob storage technology, large files are dispersed across the entire network of nodes, which reduces storage costs and naturally provides resistance to censorship. There are no single points of failure, and no centralized institutions can forcibly freeze or tamper with data.

The WAL token plays multiple roles in this ecosystem — participating in network governance decisions, staking for nodes, and interacting with various ecosystem dApps. In simple terms, it allows users to truly own their data.

How many times have we heard the phrase "decentralized storage"... Last time, IPFS was hyped up the same way, but what happened? It was still controlled by node operators. Can Walrus break through the sky this time? Honestly, I have some doubts.

Well... basically, isn't it just distributed storage with a different wrapper? I feel like I've heard this story too many times before.

Decentralized storage is indeed a direction, but whether it can become popular depends on whether the ecosystem applications are strong enough.

I understand the logic of erasure coding distributed storage, but what is the actual node participation rate? Historical data shows that the node activity in decentralized storage projects often drops to about 30% of the initial level after 3-6 months. Has the WAL incentive model taken this into account?

This thing really needs to be watched; the giants in cloud services should have been dealt with long ago.

Another new trick to cut leeks again. Decentralized storage sounds good, but can real users get it at a cheap price?

Bro, this Walrus really feels satisfying. Finally, we don't have to be trapped in the data prison of the big corporations anymore.

This wave of Walrus really hit my pain points; the cloud service approach is indeed annoying. Wow, finally someone has truly combined privacy and storage. The WAL token design is quite interesting, but it depends on how the ecosystem develops later. The concept of decentralized storage has been heard a hundred times; now it's about who can really implement it well. Basically, it's about reclaiming data from big corporations, I like this idea. Another project on Sui, it feels like the competition is heating up. No matter how much they boast about censorship resistance, it has to be tested in real scenarios to count.

This Walrus is quite interesting, finally a project that combines privacy and decentralized storage. By the way, the multi-role design of WAL is quite intriguing, but the key is whether it can be truly implemented; otherwise, it's just talk on paper. I'm already tired of the routines of cloud service providers; what we need is this kind of censorship-resistant capability. Wait, can Sui really run so smoothly, or do we need to wait for actual performance to see?
