In 2026, just beginning, the Sui ecosystem's decentralized storage solution is quietly changing the entire market landscape.

In plain terms, in the AI era, where data is stored, how it is stored, and how much it costs to store are becoming matters of life and death. And Walrus is building exactly such a foundational infrastructure.
