In the rapid development of the Web3 ecosystem today, data storage issues are gradually becoming a key bottleneck restricting application deployment. Traditional centralized storage solutions face privacy leakage risks and struggle to meet the autonomy requirements of decentralized applications.

There is a project called Walrus Protocol, which has taken an interesting approach. It is a distributed storage protocol with a straightforward core goal — to truly give users control over their data. How is this achieved? By combining an innovative distributed network architecture with a strong encryption technology system, making storage both private and censorship-resistant.

From a practical perspective, it brings tangible benefits to both users and enterprises: lower costs, higher reliability, and most importantly, data is fully controlled by the user, no longer hostage to the platform. This is crucial for building the infrastructure of next-generation applications. As the Web3 ecosystem's demands for data security and user sovereignty grow, the value of such underlying storage protocols will become increasingly prominent.
