The DeFi market has skyrocketed in recent years, but it has also brought an unspoken issue—privacy.
Imagine every transaction you make is exposed on a public ledger, with opponents able to see where you buy, how much you buy, and when you sell. For users with real money involved, this poses significant risks. Malicious attackers target large holders, and corporate users are even more reluctant to participate.
Walrus Protocol aims to change this situation. Its killer feature is private transaction capability—users can perform fully confidential on-chain operations, with transaction details known only to the involved parties. This relies on advanced cryptographic technology, allowing you to enjoy the freedom of decentralization without worrying about privacy leaks. For enterprises and high-net-worth individuals, this is an essential need.
Having privacy alone is not enough. Walrus has also built a complete ecosystem—users can participate in major protocol decisions through WAL tokens, truly having a say. This community-driven governance model enhances user engagement, and the future direction of the protocol aligns more with the interests of the majority.
Technically, Walrus employs a combination of erasure coding and blob storage. Data is fragmented and stored across multiple locations; even if some fragments are lost, the system can recover the complete data from the remaining pieces. This solution is especially suitable for applications with high data reliability requirements and can significantly reduce storage costs.
Looking ahead, privacy and security will become increasingly valuable in the digital age. Walrus’s privacy scheme and distributed storage solution are already setting new standards for DeFi. In the future, users and projects that prioritize privacy protection are likely to flock here.

Privacy is indeed the Achilles' heel of DeFi. The idea of Walrus is good, but the key is whether it can be truly adopted.

Finally, someone is thinking about privacy. I've been fed up with people digging into my transaction history for a long time.

Privacy has been talked about for many years, and finally someone is really doing it. But is Walrus's cryptography really reliable?
---
Another new project focusing on privacy; we’ll have to see how it performs once it’s actually running.
---
The erase coding system sounds good. Can it really reduce costs?
---
The WAL governance token is interesting, but can community voting decisions really be implemented effectively...
---
It’s been said for a long time that DeFi needs a privacy layer. Coming now? It’s a bit late to prove that point.
---
On-chain ledger transparency is indeed a nightmare for big players, I understand.
---
Data sharding storage sounds like a Web3 standard. Is Walrus relying on this for differentiation?
