In 2026, as global data privacy regulations tighten, enterprise users' core demand for decentralized storage has shifted from 'low cost' to a dual guarantee of 'privacy + compliance'. Walrus Protocol, through the deep integration of technological innovation and compliance design, offers the optimal solution for storing sensitive enterprise data, with its native token WAL becoming the value bridge connecting Web3 technology with traditional enterprises.
Traditional decentralized storage projects often face a dilemma between 'excessive privacy' and 'insufficient compliance': some projects emphasize absolute anonymity, but are rejected by enterprises due to the lack of audit interfaces; others prioritize compliance but sacrifice user control over data. Walrus takes a different approach, building a dual-layer architecture of 'encrypted storage + controllable auditing'—using end-to-end encryption to protect user transactions and data privacy, ensuring data content is visible only to authorized parties; meanwhile, compliance audit interfaces are reserved, enabling regulatory authorities and enterprise internal risk control departments to conduct compliance reviews within authorized limits, perfectly aligning with global mainstream regulatory frameworks such as GDPR and (the Personal Information Protection Law of the People's Republic of China).
