Walrus – Persistent Data Infrastructure for the Web3 Future
Web3 is evolving at a rapid pace. Every day, a multitude of new applications emerge—from social media, games, rollups to AI tools. However, behind this explosion, there remains a major weakness: fragile data infrastructure. When data is interrupted, applications stop functioning. When access is slow or unstable, users leave. No matter how powerful the blockchain is, if the data layer is unreliable, the entire experience collapses. @WalrusProtocol was created to address this issue at its root, with the core belief that data availability should never become a bottleneck. Instead of viewing storage as a mere accessory, Walrus places data at the center, as an infrastructure layer as important as the blockchain itself. Unlike traditional storage models, #Walrus fragments data into encrypted pieces and distributes them across a vast decentralized network. Only a subset of these pieces is needed to restore the original data, allowing the system to operate even when many nodes encounter issues. As a result, Walrus is resistant to disruptions, censorship, and completely eliminates single points of failure. Not only is it resilient, but Walrus is also optimized for real-time performance. Social applications require continuous read/write operations, games demand instant responses, and rollups need fast and stable data to ensure security. Walrus meets all these requirements while maintaining full decentralization. With Walrus, developers no longer have to choose between speed and reliability. $WAL
