Walrus is a decentralized storage network that stores and delivers raw data and media files—like videos, images, and PDFs—without sacrificing performance or accessibility. With Walrus, your data is always secure and available.
In Walrus, the client orchestrates the data flow. Uploaded data is sent to a publisher that encodes and stores it securely. Metadata and proof of availability are stored on Sui, allowing users to leverage the composability, expressivity, and security offered by Sui and the Move programming language. Storage capacity can be tokenized and used as a programmable asset, allowing developers to integrate storage with apps on Sui. However, Walrus isn’t limited to Sui, it’s available to builders on other blockchains like Solana and Ethereum.
To access your data, the aggregator collects it from the storage nodes and then delivers it through a content delivery network (CDN) or read cache.
