Recently, the popularity of the Sui ecosystem has been evident, and on-chain transaction speeds are truly lightning fast. However, I noticed an interesting phenomenon when using some DApps on Sui—those applications still rely on traditional cloud services to handle high-definition images or long videos. Basically, it's a bit awkward, like driving a Ferrari with a plastic gas tank.

Until Walrus appeared, I felt that this final puzzle piece finally fit together. As an official storage solution launched by Mysten Labs, it integrates seamlessly with Sui. During my tracking of this project, I found that Walrus is not just about storing data for the sake of storage; its real ambition is to enable the entire Web3 application ecosystem to operate more completely. Imagine a future where social interactions and video streaming happen on-chain, with all raw data stored directly on decentralized nodes—that's what a true full-chain application experience looks like.

What impressed me most is its incentive mechanism design, which effectively motivates storage nodes to provide more stable and reliable services. As an investor, my logic for evaluating a project is quite simple—whether it becomes an indispensable part of the ecosystem. Looking now, without this storage solution, many grand narratives of applications on Sui will be difficult to realize. Therefore, I strongly recommend everyone to keep an eye on developments in this direction. This is not just about file storage; fundamentally, it’s about laying the groundwork for the next-generation Web3 internet.
