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

This technology is quite interesting — traditional storage requires 25x redundant backups to ensure data security, while Walrus only needs 4 to 5x to achieve the same security level, which directly cuts costs by 80%. Not only that, data recovery speed is also much faster, with a single slice enabling complete recovery, and bandwidth consumption is reduced accordingly. For applications sensitive to storage costs, this optimization is quite attractive.

From a token economics perspective, WAL's distribution model is also appealing. The project allocated 60% of tokens to the community, with a low threshold — staking just 5 WAL allows participation in airdrops. More conveniently, users can directly delegate to node operators without needing to maintain infrastructure themselves, and still earn a share of storage revenue. This significantly lowers the barrier for ordinary participants.

Walrus is now promoting ecosystem participation through incentive activities, and the revenue potential for early participants is worth noting. If you're interested in storage solutions in the Sui ecosystem, now is a good time to learn more.
