Decentralized storage is becoming increasingly important in Web3 infrastructure, but current solutions on the market generally face three major pain points: high costs, performance bottlenecks, and difficulty in scaling.

Mysten Labs's Walrus Protocol offers a different approach. Its killer technology is called Red Stuff, which is based on erasure coding algorithms. Simply put, it disperses data across network nodes, so even if many nodes go offline, the system can still recover the complete data—much more efficient than traditional backup redundancy methods.

With this technology, storage costs for large files such as videos, images, AI training datasets, and website source code are significantly reduced, while security is guaranteed. For applications requiring large-scale storage, this is a highly practical solution.

Walrus is not an isolated project; it is deeply integrated into the Sui blockchain ecosystem. Mysten Labs positions it as the native storage infrastructure for the Sui ecosystem, and this design elevates the entire ecosystem's data processing capabilities to a new level.
