People optimistic about the Sui ecosystem often lack a deep understanding of its storage infrastructure. Walrus, as a decentralized storage network, solves the two longstanding issues of on-chain data "high storage costs and capacity limitations" using erasure coding technology. When dApps experience large-scale growth on high-performance public chains, massive data storage demands will become a bottleneck—Walrus happens to fill this gap.

From the supply and demand perspective, the faster the Sui ecosystem develops, the greater the amount of data generated, and the stronger the reliance on the storage layer. These infrastructure projects tend to have a characteristic: demand growth is often exponential. The value logic of $WAL is actually built on this simple yet powerful causal chain. Compared to storage solutions in other ecosystems, Walrus is competitive in terms of technical robustness and cost efficiency. Such projects are usually worth tracking closely in your watchlist.
