By 2026, the demand for decentralized storage in the Sui ecosystem is becoming increasingly urgent. Walrus Protocol's position in this track is also rapidly establishing itself.

After the mainnet successfully launched in 2025, Walrus has been able to perfectly support large-scale blob storage. The most notable advantage is cost efficiency—costs are only a fraction of traditional storage solutions, which is significant for applications that need to handle massive amounts of data.

Why is Walrus gaining attention? The application prospects are clear: the AI data market requires low-cost, large-scale storage; media archives demand high storage stability; continuous data updates for dynamic NFTs also require efficient infrastructure support. All these scenarios point in the same direction—who can provide storage that is cheap enough and reliable enough will seize the opportunities of the Web3 data era. Walrus is working hard to become that answer.
