Walrus

Walrus is a cutting-edge decentralized storage network developed by Mysten Labs, designed for blockchain apps, autonomous agents, and decentralized ecosystems. It addresses high replication costs with a minimal replication factor of 4x-5x, making it a cost-effective solution for storing large data blobs. Using advanced erasure coding, Walrus efficiently breaks down unstructured data into smaller pieces distributed across storage nodes, allowing quick recovery even if two-thirds of the nodes fail. Walrus enhances data availability and resilience, securely storing digital assets like NFTs, acting as a data availability layer for rollups, and supporting enterprise disaster recovery. Powered by the Sui Network, it scales to offer exabytes of decentralized storage at competitive costs, with greater transparency and fault tolerance than centralized solutions.
