Imagine not having to store all data on the chain, but instead dispersing it across a reliable storage network—this is the core idea of Walrus. It is specifically designed for high-performance public chains like Sui, using erasure coding technology to distribute large files across storage nodes, ensuring data security while reducing costs. Smart contracts can directly access this stored data, which is a game-changer for developing complex decentralized applications. Especially in the fields of gaming, NFTs, and AI applications, Walrus's advantages are particularly evident—it can handle large amounts of data without overburdening the chain. The ecosystem's WAL token is responsible for incentive mechanisms and governance voting, and the entire system runs quite smoothly.

Finally, someone has figured out storage; on-chain data piling is a suicidal approach.

Wow, the idea of decentralized storage is truly brilliant. The problem of on-chain data bloat has finally been taken seriously and addressed.

I've been talking about this direction for a while. Stacking data on the chain is purely suicidal.

Erasure code distributed storage sounds good, but the real question is—who guarantees that this network won't run away? Off-chain storage inherently carries an extra layer of risk compared to on-chain storage.

Off-chain storage has long needed someone to do it, and Walrus indeed solves the pain points.

Erasure code distributed storage? Sounds pretty good, but I wonder if it will crash when actually running... Sui ecosystem has a new story to tell.

Walrus's approach is indeed satisfying; finally, someone remembers that the chain is not a trash can.

Walrus, this idea is really good. Finally, someone thought of pushing out the data. Why accumulate so much garbage on the chain?

The erasure code distributed storage system finally feels like someone has addressed the pain points of the blockchain. However, the WAL incentive model depends on how it develops later; I hope it doesn't turn into another token scam.
