Infrastructure ultimately depends on what kind of applications it can enable. The emergence of Walrus breaks the curse of the "full on-chain" slogan, making it truly possible. This article will discuss three potential application directions that could be triggered after the launch of the Walrus mainnet, as well as their impact on the entire Web3 sector.
**The First Change: The Era of Dynamic NFTs Has Arrived**
Honestly, the current NFT market is just a big bubble. Why? Because 99% of NFTs are actually just address pointers on the chain, with the actual images stored on Amazon servers—just a JPEG.
Walrus rewrites this story.
Creators can now directly upload high-quality assets like 4K videos, 3D models, and lossless music into Walrus. The data cannot be tampered with and is stored permanently. Even more impressive, combined with Sui Move's smart contract capabilities, these NFTs can become "living" entities. Imagine: a sword in a game (NFT), which gets used more by players, causes its corresponding texture map on Walrus to automatically become worn or damaged. This **"data moves with the state"** design will completely revolutionize the gameplay possibilities of NFTs.
**The Second Opportunity: Blockchain Games Finally Have a Chance**
Do you know how primitive the first-generation blockchain games were? For example, Axie Infinity, because it couldn't store complex assets on-chain, resulted in a terrible gaming experience. AAA blockchain games still rely on the "Web2 game with a wallet login" trick.
Walrus changes this limitation. Developers can now deploy high-fidelity game assets on-chain. This isn't about turning blockchain games into fully decentralized CDNs, but truly providing the technical foundation for GameFi to produce AAA-quality titles.
