Web3's data problem is exploding. AI agents need massive datasets for on-chain processing, NFTs and gaming demand high-res assets and dynamic metadata, social apps want perpetual feeds, and DePIN/DeFi protocols crave verifiable off-chain state. Centralized storage? Risky and expensive. Pure on-chain? Impractical for blobs (those huge files). Walrus nails it with programmable decentralized storage: erasure coding for redundancy, super-fast hot retrieval, costs way lower than competitors, and devs can code custom logic for duration, verification, and now – with Seal live – encryption and access controls.
