In the current era where blockchain is reshaping the internet, the battle for data ownership has become more intense than ever. Centralized cloud service providers monopolize and control every link in the data value chain, while existing decentralized storage solutions are caught in a dilemma between cost and speed.

At this moment, the emergence of Walrus Protocol takes on a different significance. This storage ecosystem built on the Sui blockchain breaks the existing deadlock with two core innovations: the Dynamic Storage Engine and the Value Coexistence Economic Model. The WAL token is the energy source powering the entire system — not just an incentive tool, but also an entry ticket to a new world of Web3 data.

From a technical perspective, Walrus completely changes the traditional "store and done" logic of storage. It manages data in layers based on different lifecycles through its self-developed Polar Layer algorithm. The hot data layer handles high-frequency access content such as NFT metadata and DeFi transaction records, stored directly on Sui’s high-performance nodes, utilizing its parallel processing capabilities to achieve microsecond response speeds. This architecture can support over 100,000 queries per second, fully meeting the latency-sensitive application scenarios like DeFi.

In comparison, this is no longer just a simple storage protocol but a complete data value flow system.
