Remember the feeling of confusion when you first encountered cryptocurrency? For me, Walrus ($WAL) is the project that left the deepest impression.

Many people learned about it through Sui($SUI), but this project is indeed quite significant. To put it simply: if we compare blockchain to a supercomputer, Sui is the ultra-fast CPU, and Walrus is the indispensable "large hard drive."

A friend asked me, isn't blockchain itself capable of storing data? That’s a bit naive to think. Storing data directly on the mainnet is prohibitively expensive. It’s like renting an entire floor of a building just to store a selfie—costly and extremely wasteful.

Walrus addresses exactly this pain point. It offers an affordable, secure, and truly decentralized storage solution, giving users a more economical and efficient choice. In other words, it’s equipping the blockchain ecosystem with a reasonable "hardware configuration."

Honestly, I was involved initially, but unfortunately, I didn’t get an airdrop. Though a bit regretful, it doesn’t affect my recognition of this project. Next, I plan to explain Walrus thoroughly and in the simplest way possible.

Even if you’re new to the space, after reading this, you’ll fully understand the logic behind it. The era of decentralized storage has arrived.
