As the competition among Layer 1 public chains heats up toward 2026, the Walrus protocol is gradually evolving into a key hub in the multi-chain ecosystem, thanks to its close collaboration with Sui Chain. As the first infrastructure project on Sui Chain focused on privacy storage, it not only fully leverages Sui's performance advantages but also promotes the overall upgrade of ecosystem value through technological complementarity.

From the underlying support perspective, Sui Chain's technical foundation creates ideal conditions for Walrus's growth. Its parallel execution architecture based on the Move language allows transactions to be processed simultaneously, with a single block easily handling 150,000 transactions, and an average Gas fee of only 0.0002 SUI—this efficient, low-cost environment directly enables the realization of Walrus's large-capacity file storage and privacy transaction functions. More importantly, Sui's modular design naturally fits with Walrus's storage solution. Walrus's blob storage technology can directly connect to Sui Chain's data availability layer, optimizing storage costs while ensuring stable performance. This "bottom-layer chain + upper-layer protocol" cooperation model significantly reduces development costs and accelerates the deployment speed of ecosystem applications.

Conversely, Walrus's contribution to the Sui ecosystem is also substantial. As a foundational infrastructure for decentralized storage, Walrus fills the functional gaps of Sui Chain, providing stable and reliable storage support for applications like DeFi, NFT, and DAO. For example, DEX on Sui Chain can store transaction records on Walrus, ensuring data security while reducing on-chain storage pressure.
