Nami Cloud Delivers High-performance Cloud Services to Streamline Adoption on Walrus
As a next-generation infrastructure provider, Nami Cloud delivers S3-compatible decentralized storage and a seamless gateway to the #Walrus ecosystem. The platform’s mission is to abstract away the complexity of Web3 infrastructure, allowing developers to migrate from AWS S3 or other cloud providers in minutes. By offering high-performance storage that optimizes data accessibility across networks, reliable RPC services, and simplified tooling, Nami Cloud eliminates the friction developers often face when building decentralized applications. Developers can use Nami Cloud to simplify integration with Sui-based smart contracts and decentralized storage on Walrus, ensuring their apps can run smoothly with reliability, scalability, and cost efficiency. • Challenge: While building their gateway, the Nami Cloud team identified several critical infrastructure hurdles that prevent decentralized applications from achieving mainstream adoption. Developers are often forced to choose between the performance of centralized storage and the security of decentralized storage, creating architectural trade-offs. Integrating decentralized storage into applications can be complex, leading to unreliable performance and high latency that results in a poor user experience. For many teams, the S3 API is already the backbone of their storage workflows. Yet most decentralized solutions break compatibility, forcing expensive reengineering. Without a plug-and-play S3 endpoint in Web3, adoption stalls — which is exactly the gap Nami Cloud fills. Further, many existing RPC services act as bottlenecks, becoming slow and unreliable under the high transaction loads required by scalable applications. These challenges collectively slow down development and limit the potential of decentralized applications to compete with their Web2 counterparts. • Solution: Nami Cloud integrated the Walrus technology stack as its foundational layer to overcome these challenges. Walrus provides a Sui-native decentralized storage layer that’s fast, cost-efficient, and seamlessly integrated with Sui smart contracts. Builders can add Seal, a decentralized secrets management system, to offer encryption and onchain access policies for sensitive data, with access policies that are also Move smart contracts. The native connection between Walrus and Sui removes the complexity and latency issues associated with generic storage solutions, allowing Sui-based apps built on Nami Cloud to effortlessly interact with data stored on Walrus. To solve the issue of unreliable network communication, Nami Cloud leverages Walrus RPC 2.0, ensuring faster and more dependable transaction processing and data retrieval. Nami Cloud also integrated Seal’s robust encryption and onchain access control to offer privacy-preserving computation and encrypted storage, unlocking a new class of secure and confidential data for decentralized apps. Walrus’s data layer is the perfect foundation for our S3-compatible, decentralized cloud platform. Together, it is making data management as fast, reliable, and easy to use as the leading cloud providers without sacrificing security or trustlessness. • Why Walrus? Nami Cloud chose Walrus because it offers a unified and deeply integrated infrastructure stack purpose-built for the Sui ecosystem. Unlike generic solutions that require complex workarounds, Walrus is designed to work seamlessly with Sui smart contracts, enabling true composability between the storage, RPC, and compute layers. Together, this native compatibility provides the low-latency performance and reliability developers need to power high-demand, next-generation applications. Integrating Walrus as a decentralized data storage layer with Sui smart contracts supercharges development for Nami Cloud’s users, unlocking new abilities like:
• Onchain triggers for offchain data: Smart contracts can read, update, and verify data stored on Walrus in real-time. • Dynamic decentralized application storage: Applications can programmatically store, retrieve, and manipulate user-generated content while keeping interactions verifiable onchain. • Optimized infrastructure: By leveraging Walrus RPC 2.0 and Seal, Nami Cloud ensures faster, more reliable transaction processing and data retrieval compared to traditional RPCs. Integrating Seal is also a game-changer for Nami Cloud and its users. Seal introduces privacy-preserving features that were previously difficult to implement, enabling developers to build applications with security and confidentiality at their core. Building Sui-based apps together with Walrus and Seal unlocks new use cases for builders on Nami Cloud, like: • Encrypted storage: Users can store sensitive data, such as credentials and private assets, with full encryption. • Confidential smart contract execution: Onchain apps can process private user data without exposing it onchain, enabling use cases like private auctions and secure messaging. • Privacy-preserving AI: AI models can be trained on encrypted user data without sacrificing confidentiality. Powered by Walrus and encrypted with Seal, Nami Cloud is transforming storage from a passive data repository into an active, programmable layer, paving the way for a new generation of sophisticated, private, and performant apps on Sui. @Walrus 🦭/acc $WAL
Walrus Protocol Lets You Save & Train Your Own AI Models
@Walrus 🦭/acc is Mysten Labs’ decentralized storage protocol. Mysten Labs is the same team that’s behind the Sui Network. Walrus’ latest partnership is with io.net (IO). This is a decentralized computing network. Together, they offer an option to save and train AI models. That’s with IO’s Bring Your Own Model (BYOM) platform that it builds on Walrus Protocol. • Walrus Protocol and io.net Partnership: The partnership between Walrus Protocol and io.net offers start-ups a unique option. Besides building AI models, they can also train and run them. That happens on IOs Bring Your Own Model (BYOM) platform. IO uses Walrus Protocol to store these custom AI models. All this is decentralized and not centralized, like traditional cloud models.
This has various advantages: ✓ Start-ups or AI devs don’t have to own their own hardware or set up a data center. That’s all done for them and available to them. ✓ Traditional centralized cloud models are more expensive than this decentralized option. A great example is the pay-per-use option. In other words, you only pay for the computing power and storage you actually use. This makes it more affordable for teams with small budgets. ✓ There’s no need to use pre-approved models. Devs can build their custom models. ✓ This decentralized option has less privacy risks. Data ownership is also much more clearly defined. A decentralized option is also censorship resistant. You control your data and model instead of Google or OpenAI. Another advantage is when potential outages happen. In mid-June, Google experienced such an outage. AWS, Cloudflare, and Firebase were also down. As a result, big parts of the internet were down. However, Walrus Protocol stayed active and didn’t experience any downtime. IO supplies the CPUs and GPUs. It offers well over 30k GPU, on demand. On the other hand, a big company like Apple struggles to find enough GPUs to scale its AI efforts effectively. But here is IO, offering their GPU, which is 70% cheaper as well. • Which Models Will Work Well with This Partnership? This partnership between Walrus Protocol and io.net works best with good quality models. However, they need to be lightweight enough for a full download. To assist you with this, you can use the IO Intelligence platform. This is a free-inference platform. Inference in AI is where the AI model takes new information and makes predictions or decisions with it. It currently offers access to over 30 free and open-source models. This should get you well on your way. Here are three examples, but there are more out there. So, make sure to DYOR (do your own research). ✓ Deepseek. IO Intelligence offers four different Deepseek versions that you can use. These are reasoning models that come with variations. ✓ Qwen. This also comes in various models. Qwen also offers language models. ✓ Llama. There are also various Llama models available. IO Intelligence also offers Google products, like Gemma, or Microsoft’s phi models. These are mostly lightweight models, so you can fully download them. Take a look and find the model that suits you best. What all this means for Walrus is that it is now a serious hub for decentralized AI activity. • What Else is Up with Walrus Protocol ? So, this partnership with io.net is exciting, but Walrus Protocol has more brewing. One of its biggest achievements is its actual usage by other protocols. Currently, already 145 projects call Walrus their storage home. New projects are finding their way to Walrus all the time. But this also led to Walrus currently being at 26.7% of capacity. Out of 4.16PB (petabyte), 1.11PB is already in use. The picture below shows this usage:
Seal is another project built by Mysten Labs. It is a decentralized secrets management service. In other words, it offers privacy. You can integrate it into Walrus, but also into other storage protocols. Private data for your storage solutions.
We can also add Nautilus to this equation. This is Sui’s framework to build oracles. So, let me explain. With Seal, you can store your data securely and with privacy on Walrus. Nautilus can fetch this data for you. It utilizes Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs). These perform computations off-chain. However, verification is on-chain. So, as we can see, Walrus Protocol keeps marching on. The new partnership with io.net opens new ways to save and train your own AI models. However, that’s not all. Walrus sees more and more projects joining. Currently, it hosts 145 projects that use 26.7% of its storage capacity. To make full use of the Sui stack, we can also integrate Seal and Nautilus to Walrus. Respectively a privacy platform and for oracles. #Walrus $WAL

Key features of @Dusk are: • Segregated Byzantine Agreement The roles in the protocol are split between two different node types: Block Generators and Provisioners. 1. Block Generators compete in a recurring lottery for the right to submit block candidates, while Provisioners run consensus over the selection of the lottery winners and acceptance of their proposed block. In order to become Block Generators, full nodes submit a confidential transaction called Blind Bid. Provisioners, instead, are required to stake their DUSK publicly, while participating in the consensus. • A unique consensus mechanism:
• Blind Bid Phase:
During the Blind Bid phase, aspiring Block Generators stake an amount of DUSK for the right to participate in the block generation lottery. The stake transaction is called a Blind Bid, because the amount of DUSK staked and the identity of the Block Generator are kept confidential. The Blind Bid also carries a secret number 'k' chosen arbitrarily by the Block Generator. This way she can claim ownership of her own transaction at any time, despite its confidentiality and without disclosing her identity. All valid Blind Bids are kept in a Merkle Tree saved on the blockchain. • Consensus Phase - Block Generation and Selection:
During each round, Block Generators use their Blind Bid to run a non-interactive lottery and obtain a score. The amount of DUSK in the Blind Bid positively affects this score. Thus, Block Generators anonymously transmit their proposed block to the Provisioners alongside the obtained score and the Zero Knowledge proof of Blind Bid; therefore proving knowledge of the embedded secret 'k' and the correctness of the score computation. Due to the reliance upon Zero Knowledge proof of correctness, proof of Blind Bid provides a significantly higher level of security if compared to public Proof-of-Stake systems while showing an equal resilience to Sybil attacks. A committee of Provisioners validates all submissions and select the candidate block with the highest score. • Consensus Phase - Block Reduction: After the Selection phase, a small committee of Provisioners perform Block Reduction: a two step routine to gather Provisioners' signatures and assure convergence over a single block. If more signatures than a threshold of 75% of committee participants are collected, the candidate block is then established. The committee chosen for Block Reduction is always a small subset of the entire provisioner population, deterministically extracted through a non-interactive algorithm called "deterministic sortition". The non-interactive deterministic extraction algorithm additionally enables every node in the network to calculate who is in the committee from public parameters. This can be used to single out compromised participating Provisioners and decrease their reputation.
• Consensus Phase - Block Agreement': The Block Agreement is an additional phase designed to guarantee immediate finality to the selected block and provide protection against the "timeout fork" attack. During this phase, an additional committee gathers and verifies the signatures collected at the Reduction phase. This phase provides a statistical guarantee that at least one honest node has received a set of votes exceeding the minimum threshold required to successfully terminate the respective phase of the protocol. If the candidate block does not reach sufficient signatures, or agreement votes, the candidate block is omitted from the pool of candidate blocks and the process loops back to the selection stage. This time another candidate block with the highest score is selected and the process repeats until a favorable outcome is reached. • Key metrics: Token name is $DUSK and the token type is ERC-20 and BEP-2. #Dusk
• Interoperability and Data Standards to Bring Regulated Institutional Assets Onchain The collaboration opens the door to new distribution and settlement models for tokenized equities, where financial assets can be issued under European regulatory standards, and accessed or settled in DeFi environments across chains. @Dusk , is a privacy-preserving, compliance-first blockchain network for financial markets, and NPEX, a fully regulated Dutch stock exchange that has raised more than €200 million in financing through its platform and boasts over 17,500 active investors, announced today that Dusk are adopting the Chainlink interoperability and data standards to bring regulated European securities onchain and into the broader Web3 economy. By integrating the Chainlink Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP), Data Streams, and DataLink, the two leading platforms are establishing an end-to-end framework for compliant asset issuance, secure cross-chain settlement, and high-frequency market data publication. Chainlink CCIP will serve as the canonical interoperability layer for tokenized assets issued by NPEX on the Dusk. Additionally, cross-chain transfers of the DUSK token from Ethereum to Solana will be enabled by leveraging the Chainlink Cross-Chain Token (CCT) standard. With CCIP as its official cross-chain solution, tokenized assets issued by NPEX on the DuskEVM can be made composable across multiple blockchain ecosystems. This opens the door to new distribution and settlement models for tokenized equities, where financial assets can be issued under European regulation, but accessed or settled in DeFi environments across chains. For token holders and institutional users, this means unified access to compliant digital securities, regardless of which network they operate on. Adopting Chainlink CCIP allows us to bring the DUSK token into a cross-chain environment through the Cross-Chain Token (CCT) standard and to expand the reach of tokenized financial instruments across ecosystems. Paired with Chainlink DataLink and Data Streams, we're building the infrastructure needed to support the next generation of real-world asset markets onchain. By leveraging Chainlink CCIP as the canonical cross-chain infrastructure for tokenized securities, we're ensuring that regulated assets can move securely and seamlessly across blockchain environments. Additionally, Dusk and NPEX are adopting the Chainlink data standard to make regulated market data securely available onchain. Chainlink DataLink will deliver official exchange data from NPEX onchain, serving as the exclusive onchain data oracle solution for the platform. Through this integration, Dusk and NPEX become data publishers for regulatory-grade financial information, making it available to smart contracts with the transparency, auditability, and reliability required by institutions. By combining Chainlink DataLink and Data Streams, Dusk and NPEX can bring verified, high-integrity financial data directly onchain, powering the next generation of regulated tokenized asset markets across blockchain ecosystems. Dusk and NPEX are accelerating the creation of a more dynamic onchain financial system for institutional assets. By leveraging Chainlink's interoperability and data standards, they're helping define the blueprint for regulated markets to operate natively onchain. • About Dusk Dusk is a financial network run by its users and built for regulated markets and their institutions. By enabling confidential, compliant, and programmable securities, Dusk empowers businesses to embrace blockchain's transformative potential without compromising privacy or regulatory compliance. • About NPEX NPEX was founded in 2008 and has both a Multilateral Trading Facility (MTF) and a European Crowdfunding Service Providers (ECSP) license from the Netherlands Authority for the Financial Markets (AFM). NPEX has facilitated 102 successful financings up to now, amounting to more than €196 million. About Chainlink Chainlink is the industry-standard oracle platform bringing the capital markets onchain and powering the majority of decentralized finance (DeFi). The Chainlink stack provides the essential data, interoperability, compliance, and privacy standards needed to power advanced blockchain use cases for institutional tokenized assets, lending, payments, stablecoins, and more. Since inventing decentralized oracle networks, Chainlink has enabled tens of trillions in transaction value and now secures the vast majority of DeFi. Many of the world's largest financial services institutions have also adopted Chainlink's standards and infrastructure, including Swift, Euroclear, Mastercard, Fidelity International, UBS, ANZ, and top protocols such as Aave, GMX, Lido, and many others. Chainlink leverages a novel fee model where offchain and onchain revenue from enterprise adoption is converted to LINK tokens and stored in a strategic Chainlink Reserve. #Dusk $DUSK
The Unique Architecture of Dusk; its Fundamental Components.
There are a lot of moving pieces within Dusk, and a lot of tools that we have developed in-house to meet the requirements of being private, compliant, and able to interact with regulated assets. • Dusk’s Core Components: What sets Dusk apart from other blockchains is its bespoke and tailor-made components to ensure compliance, privacy, and the security of the network for the tokenization of Real-World Assets. • Cryptographic primitives:
At the foundation of Dusk’s architecture are the cryptographic primitives - BLS12_381, JubJub, Schnorr and Poseidon. These cryptography tools provide the robust security and privacy features of the network. 1. BLS12_381: BLS12_381 is a pairing-friendly elliptic curve used within Dusk to enable aggregation of signatures, which significantly reduces the amount of data to be stored and transmitted over the network, improving overall efficiency of the blockchain. This curve is especially crucial in the context of zero-knowledge proofs, where it provides the backbone for secure and private transactions. 2. JubJub: JubJub is another elliptic curve, specifically designed for fast and secure implementation of zero-knowledge proofs. This curve is utilized within Dusk for the construction of efficient zk-SNARKs, allowing transactions and contracts to maintain privacy and integrity without the need to reveal underlying data. 3. Schnorr Signatures: Schnorr signatures are a type of digital signature scheme. They offer resistance against forgery. In Dusk, Schnorr signatures contribute significantly to securing user transactions and smart contract interactions. They ensure that only valid transactions are processed and added to the blockchain. 4. Poseidon: Poseidon is a cryptographic hash function specifically designed for use in zero-knowledge circuits. It is optimized for performance, security and data integrity within Dusk. By producing a unique hash value for every distinct input, it forms the heart of Dusk’s data structures, making it virtually impossible to alter transaction data once it’s included in the blockchain. • Dusk-Merkle: Dusk also includes a custom, sparse Merkle tree implementation that is hash-function agnostic. Merkle trees are a fundamental part of many blockchains, enabling efficient and secure verification of large data structures. The Dusk Merkle tree is designed for flexibility and performance, given it’s used in multiple locations like the stake and transfer contract, and Citadel. • PLONK: PLONK is a versatile proof system developed to facilitate the implementation of zero-knowledge proofs. It forms the core of Dusk’s proof system, allowing efficient and private transactions on the network that are both small in proof size and fast to verify. With PLONK, developers can define custom and reusable circuits that can be integrated into Dusk based smart contracts. • Succinct Attestation (SA): Succinct Attestation (SA) is the unique proof-of-stake consensus algorithm at the core of Dusk. Unlike traditional consensus mechanisms, SA uses a committee-based approach, where eligible participants who hold a predefined amount of DUSK are allowed to partake in the process. The protocol operates in rounds, each generating a new block via a series of validation phases. These phases involve the creation of a candidate block, two rounds of voting on its validity by selected committees, and an agreement phase where the block is accepted if it garners enough votes. • Piecrust: Replacing the former RuskVM, Piecrust is a hyper optimized virtual machine built around Wasmer, a WASM runtime. It is a ZK-friendly virtual machine, enabling the development and execution of privacy-focused smart contracts and applications. Piecrust is fundamentally different from many blockchain VMs in that it not only executes WASM and is able to natively support ZK operations like SNARK verifications, but it also has a completely different way in which it handles memory. • Phoenix: Phoenix is the custom-built zero-knowledge proof-powered Dusk UTXO transaction model enabling privacy-preserving transactions, supporting both transparent and obfuscated transactions. Phoenix, encapsulated in the Transfer contract, is an integral part of Dusk’s privacy-preserving smart contract capabilities, enforcing the anonymity of contract callers and guaranteeing a level of privacy unavailable on other networks. Phoenix uses ZKPs to prevent double-spending attacks and prove the ownership of unspent outputs. An owner of a note can share their View Key, allowing third parties to detect the outputs belonging to the owner, and in case of obfuscated notes, the value encrypted within. A note can only be spent via a Secret Key, known exclusively to the owner of the note. • Kadcast: Kadcast is an innovative peer-to-peer protocol used by Dusk to optimize message exchanges between nodes. Unlike the traditional Gossip protocols used by many blockchain protocols, which broadcasts messages to a random set of nodes, Kadcast uses a structured overlay to direct message flow. This massively reduces network bandwidth and makes latency much more predictable, and at the same time lower compared to Gossip protocols. • Rusk: Rusk can be thought of as the technological heart of the Dusk network, similar to the motherboard of a computer. It is defined as the smart contract platform, but it actually services multiple critical functions. Rusk includes foundational elements like the genesis ZK circuits and contracts, such as the transfer and stake contracts. It integrates key components such as Plonk, Kadcast and Piecrust, and supplies host functions to the Piecrust VM. Beyond that, Rusk houses the consensus mechanism and node software, maintaining the chain state, database and network. It also provides crucial external APIs. • Application layer: At the application layer of our network, we’ve introduced innovative protocols and a transaction model designed to seamlessly meet the needs of financial institutions looking to tokenize Real-World Assets. Let’s take a closer look at the Genesis contracts, Citadel and Zedger/XSC. • Genesis Contracts: Dusk contains two fundamental Genesis contracts, which are contracts that are available when the network starts, known as the stake and transfer contracts. The stake contract is responsible for managing the stakes associated with node provisioners (stakers). It tracks which provisioners are currently staking, records their rewards and enables the functionality to stake, unstake and withdraw rewards. On the other hand, the transfer contract oversees the handling of both transparent and obfuscated transactions within the network. It maintains a Merkle tree of notes to ensure integrity. The transfer contract also has the ability to combine notes, preventing the tree from becoming excessively large and hindering network performance. Through the transfer contract, inter-contract calls can be made. • Citadel: Citadel is a groundbreaking Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI)/Digital Identity (DI) protocol designed for authenticating with third party services while upholding user privacy. With Citadel it’s possible to anonymously prove identity information, like meeting a certain age threshold or living in a certain jurisdiction, without revealing the exact information or revealing more information than is necessary. Given that Citadel is part of the network, it has wide ranging applications for on-chain activity and realizing compliance paving the way to RegDeFi. • Zedger & XSC: Zedger is a unique hybrid transaction model that brings together the benefits of both the UTXO and account-based transaction model. This model provides the Confidential Security Contract (XSC) functionality necessary for Dusk’s securities-related use-cases. Zedger allows issuers to use a wide range of functionalities while preserving the confidentiality of transactions. It offers built-in support for compliant settlement, redemption of securities, preventing pre-approved users from having more than one account, supports dividend distribution and voting, and can handle capped transfer. @Dusk #Dusk $DUSK

The storage revolution, decentralized storage has long been annouced as a key pillar of Web3, but early pioneers like Filecoin and Arweave have each had their shortcomings. Enter Walrus Protocol;a fresh, innovative approach from Mysten Labs that’s rethinking how data is stored, managed, and even programmed on the blockchain. Let's compared Walrus with filecoin and arweave and observe that what sets Walrus apart, using hard facts, real-world narratives, and key data points to show why it’s emerging as the superior solution? Walrus was eveloped by Mysten Labs, the same team behind the successful Sui Network and DeepBook protocol, Walrus aims to combine the best parts of its predecessors while eliminating their weaknesses. Whereas Filecoin relies on a marketplace model and Arweave offers permanent storage at a high cost, while Walrus focuses on three transformative pillars: 1. Cost Efficiency 2. Programmability 3. Flexibility in Data Management This fresh approach not only appeals to developers and institutions looking for scalable storage but also aligns closely with the broader Sui ecosystem, creating powerful synergies. 1. Cost Efficiency: Doing More With Less Traditional protocols have forced users to choose between full replication; like Arweave, which replicates data across every node, or variable replication that can be riskier; as seen in Filecoin. Walrus, however, leverages advanced erasure coding; often referred to as Red-Stuff encoding, to slice data into smaller slivers. Each sliver is then stored across a subset of nodes, which means: ✓ Replication Factor: Walrus only needs a 4 to 5-times replication factor, compared to Arweave’s network-wide replication that can be up to 500 times more expensive. This translates to dramatic cost savings. ✓ Lower Overhead: Filecoin’s dynamic model can become complex and costly when high redundancy is required, whereas Walrus’s streamlined approach cuts down on both operational complexity and expenses. These efficiencies aren’t just theoretical. Walrus Protocol offers 80–100 times better cost efficiency for storing large-scale data like AI datasets, media files, and blockchain history compared to its peers. 2. Programmability: Storage That’s Alive Where most storage protocols treat data as static, unchangeable blobs, Walrus turns storage into a dynamic, programmable asset. Thanks to native integration with the Sui blockchain, data stored on Walrus isn’t just kept safe; it can actively interact with smart contracts. Take a look at these key benefits: ✓ Dynamic NFTs: Traditional NFT models often store the token on-chain while relying on off-chain storage for the artwork or metadata. With Walrus, when you mint an NFT, the image is stored as a blob and directly tied to a Sui object. This creates a seamless, fully on-chain experience that solves the incompleteness issue many critics have pointed out. ✓ Smart Contract Integration: Data blobs can be managed, transferred, or even modified using Sui’s Move smart contracts. This programmability opens the door for dApps to use storage in ways that were previously impossible with Filecoin or Arweave, which offer only limited or no dynamic interaction. ✓ Cross-Chain Possibilities: The design isn’t limited to Sui applications. Walrus’s architecture is versatile enough to support cross-chain use cases, ensuring broader applicability and future-proofing your data. This integration of storage with computation creates a living, breathing data ecosystem; one that can evolve as the application demands change.
3. Flexibility in Data Management: Adaptable and Future-Proof In traditional decentralized storage systems, data is often stored permanently with no room for deletion or modification; a feature touted as immutability but sometimes a curse for enterprise users with evolving needs. Walrus challenges this paradigm by offering: ✓ Data Deletion and Modification: Walrus Protocol enables users to delete or modify stored data as needed. This flexibility is particularly attractive for enterprises that handle sensitive information or require the ability to update data over time. ✓ Maintained Integrity: Although blob data can be deleted, the underlying transaction records remain immutable. This means that while you get the practical benefits of mutable storage, the core security and auditability of blockchain are preserved. ✓ Lower Node Burden: By requiring only a single network transfer for data storage; with each node holding only a slice of the data, Walrus greatly reduces the burden on individual nodes. This not only helps in scaling the network but also ensures faster data retrieval and recovery. For institutions that need adaptable storage solutions; whether for regulatory compliance, data privacy, or operational efficiency, Walrus offers a practical, enterprise-friendly alternative to the rigid models of Filecoin and Arweave. @Walrus 🦭/acc #Walrus $WAL
