Centralized storage is like a limitation; when platforms change their policies, data can disappear, and when fees rise, access becomes more difficult. For AI developers and creators, the issue of storing massive datasets and valuable media has always been a concern—how can these assets truly be preserved forever without loss?

The Walrus protocol provides an answer for the Web3 era. Built on the high-performance Sui network, this storage solution's core logic is actually simple: using Red Stuff's advanced erasure coding technology, only 4-5 times data redundancy is needed to achieve ultimate availability and automatic repair capabilities. Data is distributed across nodes worldwide, and a single node failure cannot destabilize the entire system.

What's even more interesting is the Seal layer of privacy protection—like an invisible barrier around sensitive information, with rules on who can see and how it can be used. Blob objects are directly on-chain, transforming storage from a passive data warehouse into an interactive, governable live asset. Uploads are permanent, each access is recorded and governed, and the value is fully preserved throughout the entire circulation process.

By 2026, Walrus has become a key infrastructure in the Sui ecosystem, supporting AI data markets, DeFi verification, and media permanence scenarios. WAL holders maintain network security and participate in ecosystem governance through staking, directly benefiting from the growth in storage demand—each new storage need signifies the protocol’s sustained vitality.

As centralized cloud services gradually fade away, decentralized storage is the true path to eternal data preservation. Is your creation, your data, worth such genuine permanent protection?
