Walrus is a decentralized data storage network for storing data and rich media content such as large text files, videos, images, and audio. Unlike traditional cloud storage systems, which rely on storing a complete copy of your data in a centralized server, Walrus splits the data into small chunks and distributes it across multiple nodes around the world. With this decentralized approach, Walrus can ensure that data is available quickly even in the event of a failure; Even if part of the network is offline, the system can still retrieve the complete data. Walrus represents an evolution of the way decentralized data storage works, building on the successes and challenges of earlier protocols like Filecoin and Arweave. By using innovative coding algorithms, Walrus can write and read data quickly, and can also delete data that no longer needs to be stored. It is built on the Sui network, has programmable storage capacity, and can be maintained and scaled through smart contracts.
