Driven by both technological innovation and ecosystem development, Walrus continues to solidify its core position in Web3 programmable storage, becoming the preferred data platform for diverse scenarios such as AI, cross-chain transmission, and privacy computing. Its core advantages lie in three dimensions: Technologically, Red Stuff's two-dimensional erasure coding technology compresses storage redundancy to 4-5 times, reducing data recovery costs by an order of magnitude compared to traditional RS coding, resulting in annual storage costs as low as $0.02/GB, providing an absolute cost advantage over Filecoin and Arweave; Ecosystem-wise, recent major collaborations include OpenGradient migrating over 100 AI models to Walrus to replace the IPFS architecture, Everlyn completing the migration of 50GB of training data and over 5,000 HD video clips, and Pipe Network's 280,000 global PoP nodes enabling low-latency cross-chain access within 50 milliseconds; Functionally, the Seal access control feature makes Walrus the first decentralized data platform natively supporting fine-grained on-chain permission management, enabling end-to-end encryption and programmable access control for sensitive data. Currently, Walrus hosts over 800 TB of encoded data and has attracted more than 100 professional node operators. Through deep collaboration with Sui and cross-chain compatibility, it continuously unlocks high-value scenarios such as AI dataset trading, RWA compliant notarization, and cross-chain rich media distribution, becoming a core infrastructure of the Web3 data layer. #Walrus @WalrusProtocol $WAL
