Have you ever thought about the real risks of those NFT and metaverse assets? Many times, project teams store your data on rented servers. Once they run away, your assets are completely gone.

The Walrus protocol has come up with a clever solution to this problem. It decomposes files into mathematical fragments and then disperses and stores them across a global network of nodes. The benefits of this design are obvious—unless a disaster of apocalyptic proportions occurs, your data can always be recovered, greatly enhancing risk resistance.

In terms of cost, it is also highly competitive. Compared to other storage solutions, Walrus's fees are an order of magnitude lower, which is a real relief for metaverse scenarios and AI training data that require large-scale storage.

Sui also has a positive outlook on it. Positioned as an official storage layer, Walrus forms a deep integration with Sui, with high performance and scalability perfectly matched. Even more impressive is its cross-chain support, allowing Ethereum and other public chains to connect, making it increasingly a trend to become the universal data layer for Web3.

From a security perspective, no single entity can control or tamper with your data. Data integrity can be verified at any time, and data sovereignty fully belongs to you. This design is truly valuable in today’s environment.

The WAL token serves as an incentive mechanism for the ecosystem, used for data access, network maintenance, and more. The larger the data scale in the ecosystem, the stronger the actual demand for WAL, and the more stable its value support becomes.
