Sui ecosystem's programmable storage protocol Walrus is rewriting the gameplay of Web3 data infrastructure with a set of hardcore technical solutions. The WAL token is not just a trading symbol but more like a link connecting technological iteration, commercial applications, and community recognition.

Since its mainnet launch in March 2025, Walrus's core competitiveness is reflected in three technological breakthroughs. First, Red Stuff 2D erasure coding—the brilliance of this protocol lies in achieving high security standards with only a 4.5x replication factor, and data recovery does not require centralized coordination costs, significantly reducing bandwidth overhead. What does this mean for storage networks? Cost advantages.

Seal's programmable access control features target privacy pain points. By combining decentralized key management with on-chain rule verification, sensitive data can only be decrypted under specific conditions. In other words, data is transparently verified on-chain while maintaining privacy barriers—one of the long-standing challenges in blockchain storage.

The Quilt small file optimization scheme appears simple but actually solves the cost black hole of fragmented storage. Ecosystem developers have already saved over 3 million tokens in storage costs from this.

No matter how beautiful the technical solutions are, they must be implemented. The generative AI video platform Everlyn provides the most intuitive validation—it migrated a 50GB training dataset and over 5,000 user videos to Walrus, maintaining a 16-second video generation speed while cutting storage costs by 60%. From laboratory to production environment, Walrus has proven it can solve real-world problems.

This Red Stuff erasure code is indeed impressive. A 4.5x replication factor can still ensure security, truly locking in the cost. Everlyn's case is outstanding. 50GB of data can still produce a video in 16 seconds, cutting costs by 60%. This is real-world application. However, whether WAL tokens can sustain depends on the subsequent ecosystem. No matter how strong the technology is, if no one uses it, it's useless. Seal's privacy solution truly solves an old problem—on-chain transparency plus privacy barriers. No one had really understood this before. Saving 3 million in storage costs? That number seems a bit questionable; it depends on how it's calculated. The mainnet has only been online for a few months. It looks promising, but whether it can stabilize remains to be seen in six months. For Walrus to truly succeed, it needs ecosystem developers to push together. Technology alone is far from enough. If this wave can succeed, the storage sector's landscape will really change. Currently, there is a severe lack of hardcore solutions.

This Walrus is really working, not just talking about it. That Everlyn cut costs by 60%, and those numbers are impressive.

Wal really has some substance, cutting 60% of the costs... If this gets scaled up, the storage sector will undergo a reshuffle.

To be honest, Red Stuff is pretty impressive. A 4.5x replication factor can ensure security? If it really runs stably, reducing storage costs by 60% isn't a dream, right?

No, the Everlyn case is the one truly worth paying attention to. Cutting 60% of the costs is not just talk.
