With the explosion of the blockchain ecosystem, from high-definition NFTs to on-chain videos and AI model data, Web3's demand for 'storage' has long gone beyond simple lines of code, evolving into massive volumes of large files. Although traditional distributed storage solutions have addressed decentralization, they have consistently faced significant barriers in terms of cost, read speed, and developer experience. It is against this backdrop that @Walrus 🦭/acc enters the arena with its unique architecture.

1. What is Walrus? What problem does it solve?

Walrus is a decentralized storage protocol launched by the Mysten Labs team (the core team behind the Sui network). Its name, 'Walrus,' vividly captures its core traits: tough, durable, and with a large capacity. It doesn't aim to replace all storage protocols, but rather precisely targets the pain points of storing 'large binary objects (Blobs).'
