Holders of Sui often overlook a key issue: powerful transaction processing capabilities require supporting storage infrastructure. Sui can handle tens of thousands of complex transactions per second, and this computing power is undoubtedly top-tier in the industry. But imagine a computer so powerful that without a hard drive, it’s ultimately just a display.

Walrus plays exactly this role in the Sui ecosystem—an integrated, infinitely scalable data storage solution. This isn’t achieved through bridging or interfaces, but through a design that is tightly coupled from the ground up.

What benefits does this close integration bring? The developer experience will be significantly different. Writing smart contracts on Sui and storing large-scale data on Walrus means no data silos between the two systems, and information flows without unnecessary friction. This level of smoothness is even more elegant than many Web2 platform development processes.

Many Layer2 solutions or other storage schemes on the market also want a share, but most rely on bridging technology for access. This mode has a fatal weakness: when cross-protocol interactions are needed, both efficiency and security are compromised. Walrus’s native advantage here is especially prominent—it is tailor-made for Sui.

From the perspective of token value, what does the deep coupling of WAL with the Sui ecosystem mean? Once games, NFTs, and social protocols on the Sui ecosystem begin large-scale deployment, every user interaction and every data storage event will increase the usage scenarios and value support for WAL tokens. When the ecosystem explodes, this dividend will not be dispersed but will flow directly to the native storage layer.

In other words, if Sui truly becomes the mainstream choice for high-performance public chains as expected, Walrus, as its supporting storage infrastructure, has already laid the groundwork for benefiting. This is not just a simple stacking effect but a systemic, collaborative amplification.
