Walrus as the Web3 Data Layer That Was Missing
When you build decentralized apps, one gap always creeps up: where does all the data live? Blockchains are great for transactions and logic, but they choke on large files like images, videos, or datasets. Traditional cloud storage solves the file problem — but brings central points of failure and censorship risks right back into Web3. Walrus tries to fix that by becoming a purpose‑built data layer on top of Sui. It treats storage as a first‑class, programmable, and verifiable part of Web3 infrastructure instead of a hack stuck on the side. Developers can publish blobs, manage them via on‑chain objects, and build logic around them — a real shift from “store here and hope it stays.”
