Walrus and Digital Eternity

In the digital world, most of what we create exists as data, but much of it is stored on systems that can disappear or change unexpectedly. Blockchain was created to ensure transparency and immutability, but it cannot store large data such as videos, images, or databases. #Walrus appears to fill this gap, making large data reliable and durable, providing peace of mind for creators and the community.
@WalrusProtocol is a decentralized storage network coordinated with the Sui blockchain: the blockchain ensures ownership rights and public commitments, while Walrus handles data storage and distribution. Data is broken into multiple pieces, encrypted using erasure coding techniques, and distributed to independent nodes. When enough nodes confirm storage, the network records this commitment on the blockchain, turning storage from trust into a verifiable fact. When accessed, data is reconstructed from multiple nodes and integrity-checked to ensure accuracy.
The two-dimensional erasure coding design and epoch-based operation help Walrus efficiently recover when nodes fail or leave, maintaining continuous availability. The WAL token incentivizes and holds nodes accountable, while also supporting network governance.
Walrus’s success is measured by cost, recoverability, availability, integrity, and integration with applications. If successful, Walrus will bring peace of mind: data exists durably, reliably, and shared, becoming an unspoken promise of digital eternity. $WAL
