Walrus Protocol has opened up new ideas in the field of decentralized storage. This is not just another storage provider, but a foundational layer dedicated to storage aggregation and proof.

Its strength lies in using ZK zero-knowledge proof technology to integrate data availability proofs from mainstream decentralized storage networks like Filecoin, Arweave, and Storj, then compressing and placing them on the chain. The benefit of this approach is very straightforward—significantly reducing the cost and complexity of on-chain verification. For DApps, L2 networks, and even AI projects that require large-scale reliable storage, it provides a unified, verifiable storage foundation.

In simple terms, Walrus is like the hub and auditor of the decentralized storage world. One end connects to various storage networks, while the other end provides cryptographic-level security for upper-layer applications. This ensures data security and availability while significantly enhancing the scalability and economic efficiency of the entire storage ecosystem. Compared to the current storage landscape, this approach is indeed interesting.
