Among the many projects on the SUI chain, Walrus (WAL) has taken an interesting approach—using decentralized storage to compete with traditional cloud services.

In simple terms, Walrus's core mechanism is to intelligently split large files across distributed nodes. The benefits of this are obvious: firstly, from a cost perspective, it eliminates the high expenses of centralized data centers; secondly, in terms of censorship resistance, distributed storage means there is no single point of failure; privacy protection is also built into the protocol layer.

The project itself supports token staking and on-chain governance, allowing holders to participate in ecosystem decisions. If you are obsessed with data sovereignty and privacy, or want to explore alternative Web3 storage solutions, Walrus's approach is worth paying attention to.
