On January 15, 2026, we stand at a historic crossroads: Decentralized AI (DeAI) is moving from science fiction into reality. Yet a long-standing challenge for developers remains: if the 'brain' of AI agents—the vast model weights and training logs—are still stored in centralized cloud environments, is so-called 'decentralized AI' merely a fragile house of cards?
🧠 Memory's Weight: Walrus as AI's 'Long-term Memory'
With the Sui Foundation's official launch of its AI economy framework last week, @Walrus 🦭/acc has established itself as the sovereign storage layer for AI agents. In traditional storage models, an AI's memory could be erased or altered at any time by service providers. But within the #walrus network, leveraging Red Stuff erasure coding technology, every byte of an AI's logic is fragmented and distributed across global nodes. This means that as long as the network exists, an AI's 'soul' remains perpetually online, tamper-proof, and verifiable at any time. This 'absolute data ownership' is precisely what gives AI agents the confidence to independently execute financial decisions and engage in cross-border collaboration in 2026.

According to the @Walrus 🦭/acc official Q1 2026 roadmap released recently, a technological upgrade named 'XL Blobs' has become the focal point of discussion in the developer community. This signifies that Walrus is moving beyond simple file storage and is now officially launching a full-scale attack on the 4K/8K ultra-high-definition video streaming and massive scientific datasets market.
The official tweet mentions that support for XL Blobs will allow uploading data at the TB level in a single operation without the hassle of manual slicing. This is made possible by further optimizations of the underlying erasure coding algorithm, reducing read and write latency for ultra-large data to the millisecond level in $WAL networks. This 'brute-force performance' improvement directly rivals and surpasses traditional Web2 cloud services, truly realizing the official long-promised 'AWS killer' vision.

In the official重磅 tweet on January 13, the Sui Foundation announced the launch of the Verifiable AI Economic Framework, with @Walrus 🦭/acc formally confirmed as its core storage layer. This dynamic has completely ignited the 2026 narrative of DeAI (Decentralized AI)—AI Agents are no longer just code running on the chain; they now finally have an immutable 'long-term memory' on #walrus .
The official tweet emphasizes a core principle: in the Agentic AI era, AI model weights and decision logs must be verifiable and transparent. Traditional cloud providers may tamper with data or unilaterally disconnect, but the $WAL network ensures that even if two-thirds of the nodes are attacked, the AI's core data can still be instantly restored through Red Stuff 2D erasure coding. This means future AI will truly possess 'data sovereignty'—every byte stored on Walrus is proof of its identity and logic.

In the context of the MiCA regulatory framework fully covering in 2026, how to comply with the "Travel Rule" without disclosing personal financial data has become a make-or-break test for the Web3 industry.@Dusk The official answer is: Citadel 2.0. This revolutionary zero-knowledge identity (ZK-ID) protocol allows users to prove their compliance status on-chain without revealing any sensitive personal information.
In the logic of #dusk , privacy and regulation are not zero-sum games. With Citadel 2.0, users can prove to compliant exchanges or RWA platforms that they are "qualified European investors" or "non-sanctioned individuals," while the platforms only receive a mathematical proof of verification—without gaining access to the user's name, address, or specific holdings. This "selective disclosure" technology is the culmination of years of research by @dusk_foundation, and it completely resolves the data leakage issues plaguing traditional financial regulation.

2026 is widely recognized across the industry as the "Year of RWA (Real World Assets) Commercialization," and @Dusk stands right at the forefront of this trend. Recently, Dusk officially announced a deep collaboration with NPEX, a regulated Dutch exchange, and has launched the public testing reservation for the DuskTrade platform. This is not a lab project but rather an initiative aimed at directly transferring over €500 million in securitized assets—including corporate bonds, equities, and hybrid financial instruments—onto the blockchain. This move demonstrates to the global financial community that #dusk already possesses the practical capability to handle large-scale, compliant asset settlements.

Entering January 2026, the global crypto market witnessed a milestone event in privacy finance: DuskEVM, @Dusk , officially launched its mainnet in the second week of the month. This is not just a technological upgrade, but a qualitative leap from 'islands' of privacy protocols to an interconnected ecosystem. For years, developers pursuing privacy protection had to contend with complex development environments, but the emergence of DuskEVM has completely broken this deadlock. Fully compatible with the Solidity language, it enables hundreds of thousands of Ethereum developers to seamlessly migrate their mature DeFi protocols to the #dusk network and natively enjoy top-tier zero-knowledge proof (ZKP) privacy protection.
