What Is Walrus (WAL)?
Walrus is a decentralized storage protocol designed to efficiently store and manage large data files, known as blobs. Unlike traditional cloud storage solutions, Walrus operates on a network of independent storage nodes, ensuring data remains accessible even if some nodes fail. The protocol utilizes advanced erasure coding, specifically the Red Stuff encoding method, to reduce storage costs and enhance data retrieval efficiency. By integrating with the Sui blockchain, Walrus ensures decentralized control, enabling blockchain-based coordination and incentivization for storage nodes, making it a potential solution for decentralized applications needing reliable and cost-effective storage.
How Walrus Works
Walrus operates on a delegated Proof-of-Stake (dPoS) mechanism, where users stake WAL tokens to participate in the network and earn rewards. Data is broken into smaller units called slivers and distributed across multiple nodes, ensuring redundancy and availability. Walrus uses the Red Stuff encoding protocol, which splits data into two dimensions for efficient storage and fast recovery. The system includes proof-of-availability challenges to ensure that storage nodes are holding the data they claim. Each epoch, a committee of storage nodes is selected based on their stake in the network, helping to ensure the scalability and security of the decentralized storage system.
Who Are the Founders of Walrus?
Walrus was developed by Mysten Labs.
