The Sui ecosystem has changed quite rapidly over the past two years. Sub-second transaction speeds, transaction fees as low as $0.002, and 2.45 million daily active wallets—this combination is indeed very attractive. But what is the prerequisite for these advantages to be fully realized? Storage needs to keep up. That’s where Walrus comes in.

In simple terms, the early Sui ecosystem faced a typical barrel effect—ample computing power but tight storage capacity. High throughput without corresponding storage support is like building a highway without enough parking lots. Walrus’s low-cost storage solution happens to fill this gap. Once these two work together effectively, the ecosystem’s integrity will be strengthened.

By 2025, the focus of Sui’s technology stack development will shift from pure speed competition to full-stack construction. The launch of Mysticeti V2 further increases throughput, which means the demand for storage will grow even more. Walrus needs to be prepared to handle this influx. From another perspective, this is not just about filling gaps but also about a spiral upward within the ecosystem—high concurrency storage demand → Walrus capacity expansion → more application scenarios unlocked → influx of developers and enterprise users → increased ecosystem activity.

Full-stack decentralization is moving from concept to reality, and Walrus is playing the role of this connector.
