The Web3 storage sector has been looking for the true disruptor. Walrus Protocol, as a decentralized Blob storage project in the Sui ecosystem, seems to have identified the industry's pain point — traditional blockchain storage is limited by small files, making it impossible to store large data sets like videos and AI datasets.

How to solve this? Walrus's approach is data splitting and encoding. By breaking large files into smaller parts and using encoding technology, it ensures security while significantly reducing storage costs — this combination is indeed rare in previous solutions. Especially with the addition of Red Stuff encoding, it also improves data transmission efficiency, and the overall system coordination is quite good.

From the token perspective, the design of WAL is also well thought out: binding storage payment mechanisms gives it practical use cases, governance token distribution provides community voice, and ecosystem incentives leave room for participants. This is not just a token with speculative value; it is backed by real applications.

The storage sector needs truly usable solutions, and Walrus Protocol is definitely worth paying attention to in this regard.
