Web3 storage track has been searching for that real game-changer. Walrus Protocol, as a decentralized Blob storage project in the Sui ecosystem, seems to have identified the industry's pain point — traditional blockchain storage is constrained by small file limitations and simply cannot handle large-volume data like videos and AI datasets.

How to solve it? Walrus's approach is data partitioning and encoding. It breaks down large files and uses encoding technology to ensure both security and significantly reduce storage costs — this combination strategy is indeed rare in previous solutions. Particularly with the addition of Red Stuff encoding, it also improves data transmission efficiency, and the overall system coordination is quite solid.

From a token perspective, WAL's design is also well thought out: binding to storage payment mechanisms gives it real use cases, governance rights allocation gives the community a voice, and ecosystem incentive design leaves room for participants. This isn't a token with only speculative value — it has actual application support behind it.

The storage track needs truly usable solutions, and Walrus Protocol certainly deserves attention in this regard.
