When it comes to blockchain storage, many people's first reaction is Filecoin. But there is another player in the ecosystem with a completely different approach—Walrus (WAL). Instead of trying to compete directly with industry giants, it has chosen a smarter path: deep integration with the Sui public chain. The goal is straightforward: to create the fastest and cheapest decentralized storage layer, bringing storage costs down to the level of traditional cloud services.

【Core Pain Points】

The reality is this: the NFTs you purchase at high prices and the GameFi assets you participate in are all minted on-chain, but 90% of images, videos, and large files are actually stored on centralized servers like Amazon Cloud. This creates a hidden risk—if the service provider encounters issues or the project team runs away, those "on-chain assets" become dead links, and your investment is lost. This is a common vulnerability in the current NFT ecosystem.

WAL's approach is to solve this problem: enabling digital assets to be generated, minted, and stored entirely within a decentralized environment.

【Why choose Sui?】

WAL didn't reinvent the wheel but leveraged the high performance and low-cost features of the Sui public chain. For NFT projects, games, and social applications within the Sui ecosystem, it acts as a "native hard drive." Developers don't need to research complex cross-chain storage solutions; they can simply call WAL services to get the job done, with low cost and high efficiency.

This combination is quite clever—it avoids direct competition with storage giants while finding precise application scenarios on a high-performance public chain. The explosion of the Sui ecosystem also provides ample room for WAL's imagination.
