When companies develop Web3 tokenization, they often get stuck in two areas—where the data is stored and how to mint the tokens. Especially for companies with little blockchain technical background, they need to meet compliance requirements while handling large-scale minting, creating a high barrier in between.

Recently, Walrus and Crossmint, two infrastructure providers, collaborated to break through this barrier. Crossmint already serves over 40,000 enterprises and developers worldwide, including traditional financial giants like Mastercard and leading Web3 organizations like Coinbase. Their toolset is very straightforward—zero code, simple APIs—allowing teams without blockchain experience to manage multi-chain tokens easily, which is their strength.

What is the core of this integration? Crossmint’s users can now select Walrus as a storage backend directly within the minting process, alongside IPFS as an officially supported option. This way, token metadata can be stored natively on a decentralized network—dynamic data generated by AI, compliance certificates for RWA assets, core information of digital products—all managed through Walrus’s distributed node network. Access efficiency is good, and users don’t need to learn complex storage protocols.

"Minting + storage" combined into one package lowers the technical barrier. This is especially beneficial for scenarios like minting millions of tokens, on-chain AI datasets, and tokenizing loyalty programs—improving efficiency and speeding up implementation.

Alfonso Gómez-Jordana, co-founder of Crossmint, mentioned that Walrus’s storage infrastructure makes it much easier for enterprises to build applications on-chain. Conversely, Walrus is also accelerating the adoption of decentralized storage across different industries through Crossmint’s distribution network. Future plans include launching customized features for more specific scenarios such as RWA compliant storage and cross-chain token metadata synchronization, providing enterprises with more comprehensive tokenization solutions.
