There is a seriously underestimated project in the Sui ecosystem—Walrus. Many still consider it just an ordinary on-chain storage solution, but in fact, it is far more than that.

Traditional storage protocols like Arweave store data on-chain and then it’s dead, only readable. Walrus operates on a different approach—programmable data layers. This means that on-chain data such as NFTs and game assets can not only be stored but also directly called and managed by smart contracts. Files shift from static to dynamic, instantly opening up new application scenarios.

The underlying technology uses the Red-Stuff encoding scheme, which greatly surpasses similar solutions in storage efficiency. What benefits does this bring? Clear cost advantages, making it a real money-saver for long-term projects. From the perspective of supporting the value of $WAL, this is the foundation for it to establish a foothold in the Sui full-stack ecosystem.

From real-world cases with Onefoot to the gradual rollout of the mainnet, the project is proving itself step by step. This is not just conceptual fluff, but a foundational infrastructure backed by practical applications. The programmable storage track is just getting started and warrants close attention.

From the perspective of programmable storage, I didn't think of it initially, but it's indeed much more flexible than the Arweave system. Walrus is quite impressive this time.

Walrus has indeed been overshadowed. The aspect of programmable storage hasn't been given much attention before, which is quite interesting.

Programmable storage indeed hasn't received much attention, Walrus has something interesting this time --- Red-Stuff encoding? Never heard of it. Is this technology reliable or just another marketing buzzword? --- Underestimated +1, but it depends on how far Onefoot can actually go. There are too many projects talking but not doing. --- Is anyone accumulating $WAL? Feels like this direction has more value than the storage platform itself. --- NFT data being callable by smart contracts is indeed impressive, much more innovative than one-way storage like Arweave. --- High storage efficiency = saving money, but the ecosystem needs to keep up, or even the most advanced technology is useless. --- There aren't many truly capable foundational infrastructures in the Sui full-stack yet. Walrus has potential, but it depends on future developments. --- How is the mainnet progress? Is there a timeline or just more empty promises? --- It's a bit early to say the programmable storage track is starting, but it's definitely worth watching.

No one is really paying attention to programmable storage; Walrus has been unfairly overlooked. I want to understand the specific principles behind the Redstuff encoding technology. How is the mainnet development progressing? Can it keep up with Sui's pace? Arweave's static data approach is indeed unimpressive; dynamic retrieval is the future. How is the current price of WAL? How undervalued is it?

Walrus does have some substance, and from the perspective of programmable storage, no one has really thought about it deeply.

ngl the red-stuff encoding angle is actually pretty underrated for basis point calcs... most people sleeping on infrastructure plays bc they're not sexy enough

Programmable storage sounds good, but how many projects can actually use it? It still depends on whether the subsequent ecosystem can be developed successfully.

Good morning, at 3 a.m. I found another good thing that was completely consumed... Walrus is like a plate ignored by diners, but it actually contains real skill in mechanism design. Red-Stuff coding? It sounds like a midnight feast for arbitrageurs. How many novice liquidity traps can the cost advantage hold back?

Walrus's programmable data layer is indeed impressive, much smarter than static storage like Arweave... Unfortunately, the market still doesn't understand.
