Cloud storage is convenient, but it comes with a bunch of problems: service providers can delete your files at any time, data breaches happen endlessly, and the costs are ridiculously high. After Walrus appeared, this entire approach was completely changed.



This decentralized storage network running on the Sui chain uses erasure coding technology to split files into fragments and disperse them across nodes worldwide. No need to worry about multiple nodes going down, because as long as enough nodes are alive, your data can be recovered 100%. How effective is it? The cost is directly comparable to traditional cloud storage, but with even higher durability.

Enterprises benefit the most. Video sites can store videos permanently, AI companies can safely upload training data, e-commerce platforms can store product images freely—all without paying exorbitant subscription fees. Even better, if there’s any policy pressure, your business continuity remains unaffected.

What about individual users? Once your photos, documents, and digital collectibles are on-chain, they truly belong to you. The protocol comes with end-to-end encryption and private transactions, so only you can see them. In today’s world where privacy is so valuable, this is what a reliable solution looks like.

Essentially, it restores data sovereignty to users. With Sui chain’s high throughput and low fees, Walrus turns the idea of migrating to Web3 from a concept into a tangible option.

I've been through it all. Don't put too much trust in the idea of a "ceiling"; projects were hyping this up back in 2018 too.

Finally, someone has exposed the scam of cloud storage. The gameplay of Walrus is indeed fresh. --- Cost reduced to almost nothing? Wow, traditional cloud storage should be crying. --- The technology of erasure coding sounds great, but I don't know how stable the nodes are and whether they can really hold up. --- I love hearing that data sovereignty is back in our hands, but is Sui's ecosystem robust enough? That's still a question mark. --- I believe in enterprise scenarios, but will individual users really be willing to migrate for privacy? They're used to the convenience of centralized systems. --- The never-delete feature is a real blessing for creators. No more fear of platform crackdown one day. --- How long can the low fee last? Will it gradually increase later? The套路 are all the same. --- End-to-end encryption is fine, but the key is having a user-friendly interface; otherwise, ordinary people won't be able to get started. --- The claim that policy pressure won't be affected sounds dangerous. What will regulators think? --- I believe in zero-cost, but who will guarantee that the number of nodes is sufficient? What if the number of nodes plummets?

Really? Can the costs be cut down to almost nothing? This sounds too good to be true. Wait, node downtime data can still be recovered 100%. How is that possible? Why is erasure coding so amazing? Honestly, this cloud storage setup is quite annoying. Google can shut down your account at any time, but is Walrus really reliable? Decentralization sounds great, but what if the ecosystem dies? Wouldn't the data become useless? However, if the costs could really be reduced tenfold, companies would definitely follow the trend and migrate.

This is true data freedom, no longer at the mercy of cloud storage providers.

Selling Sui ecosystem stuff again, acting like it's the real deal. But the erasure coding part is indeed impressive, much more reliable than centralized storage.

Wow, finally someone has spoiled the crappy business of cloud storage. Walrus is pretty impressive this time.

No way, seriously? Cloud storage has been around for so many years, and only now someone finally figures this out?
