Walrus Protocol has recently attracted attention in the Sui ecosystem. As a storage solution, it breaks the traditional storage cost dilemma using RedStuff 2D erasure coding technology.

This technology is quite interesting—traditional storage requires 25x redundancy backups to ensure data security, while Walrus only needs 4 to 5x to achieve the same level of security, directly cutting costs by 80%. Moreover, data recovery is much faster; a single slice can fully restore the data, and bandwidth usage is also reduced. For applications sensitive to storage costs, this optimization is quite attractive.

From a tokenomics perspective, the distribution model of WAL is also quite appealing. The project team allocates 60% of the tokens to the community, with a low threshold—staking 5 WAL tokens allows participation in airdrops. Even more conveniently, users can delegate directly to node operators, avoiding the need to maintain infrastructure themselves and earning storage revenue shares. This significantly lowers the barrier for ordinary participants.

Currently, Walrus is promoting ecosystem engagement through some incentive activities. The potential gains for early participants are worth paying attention to. If you're interested in storage solutions within the Sui ecosystem, now is a good time to learn more.
