The Walrus protocol has achieved a technological breakthrough in the field of decentralized storage. Compared to traditional cloud storage solutions, its cost has decreased by a factor of 100, while security has increased by a magnitude of ten thousand — these comparison figures reflect the fundamental differences in architecture. More notably, the protocol supports dynamic modification and deletion of data, which is uncommon in decentralized storage, expanding the boundaries of application scenarios.

From individual users to enterprise-level applications, Walrus can provide suitable solutions. The ecosystem token $WAL plays a key role by incentivizing participants to run storage nodes and participate in staking, forming a self-sustaining economic model. This design not only reduces the difficulty of cold start for the network but also ensures the interests of long-term participants. As more developers join, the application boundaries of decentralized storage are continuously being expanded, and Web3’s privacy protection is thus supported by more solid infrastructure.
