DApp front-end hosting has long faced an unavoidable issue: centralized nodes are prone to downtime, affecting user experience and posing censorship risks. Walrus, in partnership with Sui, has launched a decentralized front-end hosting solution called Walrus Sites, specifically designed to address this pain point.

Currently, over 50 Sui ecosystem DApps have integrated it, ranging from NFT trading platforms to GameFi projects, covering a broad spectrum. The core selling points are three words: secure, efficient, affordable.

How is this technically achieved? Based on Walrus's distributed storage network, front-end files are backed up across multiple nodes, so single-point failures are no longer a problem. System availability reaches 99.99%. For developers, it's more user-friendly—deploy with one click, no need to tinker with storage node configurations, and deployment costs are 60% cheaper than traditional cloud services. Most importantly, after integrating the Sui chain's verification mechanism, front-end files cannot be altered, ensuring security for user access.

Some leading GameFi projects that adopted this solution have shown impressive data: front-end load times improved threefold, downtime probability dropped from 1.2% to zero, and user retention increased by 15%. What do these numbers indicate? They show that this solution is not just theoretical.

From an investment perspective, decentralized front-end hosting is actually one of the foundational infrastructures for Web3 projects. Walrus Sites has already identified a clear path to commercial implementation. As more DApps join the ecosystem, the actual demand for WAL tokens will continue to grow. For those interested in the Sui ecosystem, this progress is worth following closely—it could be an opportunity whose value has yet to be fully realized.

Security and cost savings—this is what infrastructure should be about. Did Walrus Sites really reduce the downtime rate from 1.2% to 0? Data can be misleading, but this time it’s truly convincing. It feels like the Sui ecosystem is developing quite steadily. Over 50 DApps integrated—what does that say? The market is voting with its feet. But to be fair, 99.99% availability still feels like it’s missing that 0.01%... Reducing deployment costs by 60% can really save small teams; someone should have done this a long time ago. The logical chain of WAL is quite solid; the more the ecosystem fills up, the more the demand becomes real. Sui has done it again. These small infrastructural details are often overlooked but ultimately profitable. A front-end loading speed of 3 times faster is a bit exaggerated, but I believe in the number that reduces downtime to 0.

Oh wow, Walrus really solves a big problem Wait, 60% cheaper in cost? That's really friendly for small projects Over 50 DApps have integrated, the data for GameFi is skyrocketing... retention rate increased by 15%, this is no joke Should we pay attention to the WAL token? But on the other hand, how is 99.99% availability guaranteed? Can it really hold up? One-click deployment sounds a bit too idealistic, there will always be issues Is the Sui ecosystem getting this competitive now? Need to keep up with the pace

Over 50 DApps connected, the downtime rate dropped from 1.2% to 0, this data definitely shows some substance. Have you actually used it? Just want to hear real feedback. Will developers really switch because of the 60% cheaper price? How long can the demand pull of WAL last? The ecosystem needs to keep expanding. This is what infrastructure should look like, very solid groundwork.

Oh no, this Walrus Sites really solves a long-standing problem --- More than 50 DApps connected, this ecosystem is quite hot --- 60% cheaper? Developers must be thrilled --- Downtime rate dropped directly from 1.2% to 0, data doesn't lie --- Distributed storage should have been popularized long ago, why only now --- The key is not afraid to modify files, which is commendable; security is the king --- The WAL token is somewhat undervalued; as the ecosystem grows, demand will definitely explode --- One-click deployment sounds simple, but how well it runs in practice still depends --- GameFi retention rate increased by 15%? That proves user experience has indeed improved --- The Sui ecosystem adds bricks and mortar; in the long run, this infrastructure is becoming more and more complete

This time, someone finally figured out the frontend issues, much more reliable than those previous projects. Zero downtime risk? The data is right here, show some respect. Sui's infrastructure development is indeed getting things done, unlike some chains that just shout slogans.

No hype, no negativity. Walrus Sites really hits the pain points. 60% cost optimization, zero downtime—these numbers speak for themselves. Confident in the continuous expansion of the Sui ecosystem infrastructure. Downtime is the biggest killer of user experience; this solution is worth paying attention to. True decentralization is not just a slogan; Walrus is laying the foundation. What does 50+ ecosystem integrations indicate? The market needs this. The demand for the WAL token is well-supported, with a clear long-term logic. GameFi project retention rates have increased by 15%, this is real feedback. Frontend hosting has been overlooked for too long; the window of opportunity is still open.

The downtime probability dropped directly from 1.2% to 0. Is this number real... you need to verify it yourself.

Damn, is this data real? The downtime probability is directly zero? Feels a bit exaggerated. Walrus's solution indeed addresses a long-standing difficult problem, but I wonder how it performs in actual use. The 60% cost savings is significant; developers should be interested. Wait, what's the current price of the WAL token? It seems like all the overlooked opportunities have been uncovered. The Sui ecosystem's infrastructure is rapidly being completed, so there should still be potential ahead. If this plan can truly achieve 99.99% availability, traditional cloud services will really be panicking. Frontend load times improved by 3 times—really? Give me the source. Over 50 DApps integrated, indicating good market acceptance. Continuing to monitor. Walrus Sites sounds promising, but the key is whether it can maintain this momentum going forward.

Honestly, someone should have been working on decentralized frontends a long time ago. The Walrus Sites solution indeed addresses the pain points, but claiming success with just over 50 DApps connected? Let's talk when it reaches 500+. That GameFi project looks promising in terms of data, but it depends on what the project is—small projects tend to have large data fluctuations. By the way, is 60% cheaper relative to cloud services? How does it compare to Arweave?
