Imagine if internet applications' data principles could operate like Walrus, what would our digital lives look like?

Let's start with the most intuitive change. Your social chat history, game saves, and creative content would no longer reside on a company's server but exist in a decentralized space fully controlled by you. You can freely switch applications, and your digital footprint and assets follow you, not being tightly bound to any platform.

For application developers, this is also liberation. They can focus all their energy on product experience and innovation, no longer worrying about data security or vendor lock-in issues, allowing creativity to be more fully unleashed.

It sounds like a utopia, but Walrus is turning it into reality with technology. Low cost and high security are its two trump cards. More importantly, it is not an isolated project— as a core module of the Sui ecosystem, it can resonate and collaborate with other innovative projects.

Expectations in the community are strong. Everyone feels this is the true nature of the internet: data sovereignty in the hands of users, open collaboration among all parties.

Perhaps before long, the first criterion for evaluating an application will be whether it adopts such a data paradigm. The bridge that Walrus represents may be more important than we imagine.
