In the world of Web3, transparency is a double-edged sword. It ensures the decentralized operation logic but also makes every transaction and every holding fully recorded on the chain.

Imagine these scenarios: shortly after transferring funds, your address is tracked, and your holdings are thoroughly exposed. Soon after, spam airdrops and various harassment begin to bombard you. Or when storing files, you worry about centralized cloud services suddenly crashing, data leaks, or even outright data loss. This feeling of "naked" exposure is something everyone living on the chain deeply understands.

Walrus Protocol offers a new solution on the Sui blockchain. It’s not just about privacy; it integrates private transactions and secure storage into a single platform—you don’t need to switch between multiple tools, as all your needs can be met here.

From a transaction perspective, ordinary on-chain transfers are like opening your wallet for everyone to see: addresses, amounts, holdings—all laid out transparently. Walrus’s approach is to encrypt transactions so that the network knows a transaction is happening but cannot see who is transferring, how much, or what tokens are involved. A relatable analogy is paying with cash—the cashier confirms you paid, but cannot know how much money you have left in your wallet.

The high TPS capability of the Sui blockchain makes this system run very quickly, with the smoothness of private transactions even surpassing many public chain’s regular transfers. For secure storage, Walrus provides a decentralized solution, completely eliminating reliance on a single service provider. Simply put, it’s about storing your files on the blockchain in a way that is both secure and autonomous.
