This @WalrusProtocol is the decentralized file layer on Sui: programmable blob storage for video, game assets, and AI models, verifiable, fast, and self-healing.
Storage that works like code, built for real apps & agents.

The @WalrusProtocol token you use to pay for storage on the Walrus network is very clean and simple...
The payment system is designed to keep costs steady in fiat terms, so users aren’t affected by significant fluctuations in the WAL token’s price over time.
When you pay for storage, you’re essentially locking in a set period for your data to be kept safe. The WAL you pay upfront is distributed over that time and paid to storage nodes and stakers for providing the service.
This setup keeps the network financially healthy while giving users confidence that their files will remain secure and accessible.
To kick things off, Walrus has allocated 10% of WAL’s supply for subsidies in the early stages.
These subsidies help attract new users by allowing them to store data for less than the current market rate, while still ensuring that storage providers can operate profitably.

The @WalrusProtocol competes with Filecoin, Arweave, Storj, Sia, and Crust, but it’s built for fast, dynamic, large-file storage rather than just archiving.
Unlike Filecoin/Crust’s slower retrieval or Arweave’s immutable focus, Walrus offers Sui-native programmable storage, Byzantine fault tolerance (keeps data even if 1/3 of nodes fail), and stable fiat pricing. Really something to be studied at
Compared to Storj/Sia’s Web2-friendly models, Walrus is fully on-chain, optimized for game assets, media, and real-time dApps, delivering both speed and reliability for the Web3 stack.
