Some say that the Walrus protocol implements "programmable storage," and this statement is quite interesting.

Compared to traditional decentralized storage—which is more like a public warehouse. You store your items, receive a certificate, and that certificate only proves "I stored this item," but the contents inside the warehouse are separate from the outside world, isolated from each other.

Walrus is different. It’s like an "internet-connected smart storage locker." Not only can it store items, but it can also receive commands through smart contracts. For example, setting a command: automatically transfer ownership of the storage locker to someone else after 30 days. Or enable the stored assets to interact with other on-chain protocols, participating in complex financial operations.

This design means storage is no longer just a "place to put things," but becomes a programmable, interactive infrastructure. For Web3 applications, this opens up many new possibilities.
