Walrus is the global data layer for Web3. Secure, decentralized, and built on Sui. It lets developers store, read, and program large files like video, images, and PDFs. @WalrusProtocol data storage 101: > data remains accessible even when nodes fail > capacity and throughput grow with every new node > storage can be tokenized and used directly in smart contracts How it works: > A client uploads data, which is encoded by a publisher and stored across nodes. Metadata and proofs of availability are written to Sui. Aggregators then pull the data and deliver it quickly through caches or CDNs. > Red Stuff → an encoding algorithm that slices data for efficient storage and faster access > Proofs of availability → random challenges keep nodes accountable without high costs > Tokenized storage → blobs and capacity become on-chain objects that apps can use or trade The network runs on $WAL. Nodes stake WAL to join, governance sets penalties for bad behavior, and delegated proof of stake...
