@Plasma is a layer-1 blockchain developed with a focus on stablecoin payments, aiming to address the growing role of digital dollars in the global economy. While stablecoins have already become one of the dominant applications in crypto, existing networks were not built specifically to meet their demands. Plasma’s design incorporates features such as zero-fee transfers for USDt, the ability to use custom tokens for gas, and confidential transactions. These characteristics are intended to make stablecoin transfers faster, less costly, and more private, while supporting a wide range of payment-oriented applications.
At the infrastructure level, Plasma is secured by PlasmaBFT, a variant of the HotStuff consensus algorithm that offers Byzantine fault tolerance with low-latency finality. Its execution layer is powered by Reth, an Ethereum-compatible client written in Rust, which allows developers to deploy applications using familiar EVM tools. Together, these components provide deterministic guarantees on settlement speed and throughput, making Plasma technically capable of handling the high-volume environment associated with global payments.
• XPL as the core economic and utility token:
A distinguishing feature of #Plasma is its integration of stablecoin-specific mechanisms directly at the protocol level. For example, its paymaster system sponsors gas costs for USDt transfers, allowing users to send payments without holding the native XPL token. At the same time, other transactions incur normal fees to sustain validator incentives and maintain the network’s economic security. Over time, the network also plans to introduce additional features such as a trust-minimised Bitcoin bridge, confidential payments, and deeper integration of stablecoin-native contracts, with features rolled out in phases rather than all at once.
• Role of XPL in POS security and Validator incentives:
The network’s economic model revolves around its native token, XPL, which is used for validator rewards, staking, and fee payments beyond the gasless USDt transfers. Distribution of XPL spans public sale participants, the team, investors, and ecosystem initiatives, with a gradual unlocking schedule. Validators secure the network under a proof-of-stake model, earning rewards through controlled inflation that decreases over time to balance long-term supply. By combining consensus design, stablecoin-first features, and EVM compatibility, Plasma represents an effort to create an infrastructure layer tailored to the demands of digital money and high-volume, global payment activity.

What is the XPL Token?
The $XPL token is the native asset of the Plasma blockchain, serving as the foundation of the network’s economic and security model. Similar to how ETH functions on Ethereum or BTC on Bitcoin, XPL is used to pay transaction fees, secure the network through staking, and incentivise validators who maintain consensus. While Plasma supports gasless USDt transfers through a protocol-managed paymaster, XPL underpins all other activity on the chain, ensuring that validators are rewarded and the system remains sustainable. In this way, XPL balances the goal of enabling frictionless stablecoin payments with the need to maintain robust network economics.
XPL also plays a critical role in Plasma’s proof-of-stake consensus. Validators stake XPL to earn the right to participate in block production and transaction verification, receiving rewards in return for their service. To align incentives, Plasma implements a system where misbehaving validators lose rewards rather than their staked capital, reducing the risk of catastrophic losses while still penalising misconduct. As the network decentralises over time, staked delegation will allow regular token holders to contribute to security by assigning their XPL to validators, broadening participation in consensus without requiring all users to run infrastructure.
• XPL's function in ecosystem growth and network governance:
The token’s distribution reflects its dual role as both a utility and governance asset. Out of a total supply of 10 billion XPL, allocations are spread across ecosystem growth initiatives, the team, early investors, and a public sale. These tokens are subject to lockups and vesting schedules designed to support long-term alignment and prevent excessive early sell pressure. Inflation begins at 5% annually for validator rewards, gradually tapering to 3%, with EIP-1559-style fee burning helping offset supply growth as transaction volume increases. This combination of emission controls and fee-burning is meant to sustain validator participation while managing dilution for long-term holders.
Within the broader Plasma ecosystem, XPL functions as the key enabler of features beyond simple stablecoin transfers. Developers building applications on Plasma will use XPL for gas unless they opt into custom gas token arrangements, while cross-asset programmability, staking, and future governance mechanisms are also tied to XPL. In short, the token acts as both the security backbone and the value anchor of the network, ensuring that Plasma’s stablecoin-focused design remains economically viable while supporting its ambition to scale into a global payments infrastructure.

This phase introduced several key features, including API endpoints for deletable blobs, a data explorer developed by Staketab, and a tokenomics ecosystem for WAL, featuring staking and rewards. Additionally, Mysten Labs developed a staking app to enhance user engagement within the network.
• In addition to these technical advancements, Walrus expanded its ecosystem with the launch of SnowReads, a decentralised digital library. This platform provides open access to a vast collection of scientific papers in fields such as economics, computer science, and physics, utilising Walrus’ decentralised storage for efficient and reliable archival.
$WAL

@Walrus 🦭/acc is a platform for building efficient and resilient data markets, where data is stored as blobs. Walrus stores each blob as an immutable array of bytes, and you can store any type of file, such as text, video, or source code. Sui is a blockchain that supports programmability at a fundamental level. Walrus binds all blobs to objects on the Sui blockchain.
• Walrus and Sui:
Walrus depends on Sui, as it leverages Sui to track blobs, their respective owners, and their lifetimes. Sui and Walrus are both decentralized, distributed systems made up of many independent servers that communicate and collectively establish shared state. A group of servers together is a network.
• Available networks:
Sui and #Walrus each have the following available networks:
✓ Testnet is a sandbox-like network where you can receive test tokens for free to use for the network's fees. You can build, test, and debug software packages on Testnet. Testnet does not guarantee data persistence and might wipe data at any time without warning.
✓ Mainnet is a production environment where you use real tokens and users or other applications rely on consistent functionality.
When you are getting started, you should use Testnet.

• Step 1: Install tooling
To install Walrus and Sui, use the Mysten Labs suiup tool.
• Step 2: Configure tooling for Walrus Testnet
After installing Walrus it is important to configure the Walrus client, which tells it the RPC URLs to use to access Testnet or Mainnet, and the Sui objects that track the state of the Walrus network. Configure the Sui client to connect to Testnet. The Sui client configuration is separate from the Walrus client configuration. Initialize the Sui client. When prompted, enter the following:
✓ Connect to a Sui Full Node server? → Y
✓ Full node server URL → https://fullnode.testnet.sui.io:443
✓ Environment alias → testnet
✓ Select key scheme → 0 (for ed25519)
This creates your Sui client configuration file with a Testnet environment and generates your first address. To confirm the Walrus configuration also uses Testnet, run the command: $ walrus info
Make sure that this command's output includes Epoch duration: 1day to indicate connection to Testnet.
• Step 3: Understanding your Sui account
When you ran sui client during setup, the system automatically created a Sui account for you. Sui uses addresses and accounts. When you store blobs on Walrus, Walrus binds them to an object on Sui that an address owns. An address is a unique location on the blockchain. A 32-byte identifier identifies the address, which can own objects. The system derives the address from a public key using a hash function. Anyone can see addresses, and they are valid on all networks (Testnet, Mainnet, and so on), but networks do not share data and assets. An account is an address plus the key to access it. If you have an address's private key, you have privileged access and control over what the address owns, such as tokens and objects.
• Step 4: Fund Sui account with tokens
Before you can upload a file to Walrus and store it as a blob, you need SUI tokens to pay transaction fees and $WAL tokens to pay for storage on the network. The Walrus Testnet uses Testnet WAL tokens that have no value and you can exchange them at a 1:1 rate for Testnet SUI tokens. Ensure you select Testnet. Then, insert your Sui address, and print it. You receive a message saying you have received SUI tokens, check your balance. Convert some of SUI tokens into WAL.
• Step 5: Store a blob
Changes to objects on Sui happen through the use of transactions. Accounts sign these transactions on behalf of addresses and they result in the system creating, updating, transferring, and sometimes destroying objects. Upload a file to Walrus and store it as a blob. Replace file.txt with the file you want to store on Walrus. You can store any file type on Walrus. You must specify the - -epochs flag, as the system stores blobs for a certain number of epochs. An epoch is a certain period of time on the network. On Testnet, epochs are 1 day, and on Mainnet epochs are 2 weeks. You can extend the number of epochs the system stores a blob indefinitely. The system uploads a blob in slivers, which are small pieces of the file the system stores on different servers through erasure coding. After you upload a blob to Walrus, it has 2 identifiers: ✓ Blob ID: A way to reference the blob on Walrus. The system generates the blob ID based on the blob's contents, meaning any file you upload to the network twice results in the same blob ID.
✓ Sui Object ID: The blob's corresponding newly created Sui object identifier, as the system binds all blobs to one or more Sui objects.
You use blob IDs to read blob data, while you use Sui object IDs to make modifications to the blob's metadata, such as its storage duration. You might also use them to read blob data.
• Step 6: Retrieve a blob
Retrieve a blob and save it on your local machine. Replace <blob-id> with the blob's identifier the walrus store command returns in its output, and replace file.txt with the name and file extension for storing the file locally.
• Step 7: Extend a blob's storage duration
To extend a blob's storage duration, you must reference the Sui object ID and indicate how many epochs you want to extend the blob's storage for. Extend the blob's storage duration by 3 epochs. You must use the Sui object ID, not the blob ID. Replace <blob-object-id> with the blob's Sui object ID the <walrus store> command returns in its output.
• Step 8: Delete a blob
All blobs stored in Walrus are public and discoverable by anyone. The delete command does not delete blobs from caches, slivers from past storage nodes, or copies that could have been made by users before the blob was deleted. Delete the blob. Replace <blob-id> with the blob's identifier the walrus store command returns in its output.
Build your first Walrus application.

@Walrus 🦭/acc is a decentralized storage protocol designed specifically to enable data markets for the AI era and make data reliable, valuable, and governable. Walrus focuses on providing a robust but affordable solution for storing unstructured content on decentralized storage nodes while ensuring high availability and reliability even in the presence of Byzantine faults.

• Features of Walrus:
✓ Storage and retrieval: Walrus supports storage operations to write and read blobs. It also allows anyone to prove that a blob has been stored and is available for retrieval at a later time.
✓ Cost efficiency: By utilizing advanced erasure coding, Walrus maintains storage costs at approximately 5 times the size of the stored blobs, and encoded parts of each blob are stored on each storage node. This is significantly more cost-effective than traditional full-replication methods and much more robust against failures than protocols that only store each blob on a subset of storage nodes.
✓ Integration with the Sui blockchain: #Walrus leverages Sui for coordination, attesting availability, and payments. Storage space is represented as a resource on Sui, which can be owned, split, merged, and transferred. Stored blobs are also represented by objects on Sui, which means that smart contracts can check whether a blob is available and for how long, extend its lifetime, or optionally delete it.
✓ Epochs, tokenomics, and delegated proof-of-stake: Walrus is operated by a committee of storage nodes that evolve between epochs. $WAL is the native token and its subdivision is FROST, where 1 WAL is equal to 1 billion FROST. WAL is used to delegate stake to storage nodes, and those with high stake become part of the epoch committee. The WAL token is also used for payments for storage. At the end of each epoch, rewards for selecting storage nodes, storing, and serving blobs are distributed to storage nodes and those that stake with them. All these processes are mediated by smart contracts on the Sui platform.
✓ Flexible access: You can interact with Walrus through a command-line interface (CLI), software development kits (SDKs), and Web2 HTTP technologies. Walrus is designed to work well with traditional caches and content distribution networks (CDNs), while ensuring all operations can also be run using local tools to maximize decentralization.

• Architecture and operations:
Walrus's architecture ensures that content remains accessible and retrievable even when many storage nodes are unavailable or malicious. Under the hood it uses modern error correction techniques based on fast linear fountain codes, augmented to ensure resilience against Byzantine faults, and a dynamically changing set of storage nodes. The core of Walrus remains simple, and storage node management and blob certification leverages Sui smart contracts.
