Walrus $WAL - the top 1 project in the Decentralized Storage sector on Sui currently in testnet
People are only talking about #Sui , a number of DEX projects on Sui, memecoins, so today let’s take a look at this sector on Sui.
🗃️Filecoin and Arweave are the top 1 projects in the Decentralized Storage (decentralized data storage) sector.
🔸Filecoin: primarily used to store metadata for NFTs. This metadata is often linked to IPFS, allowing for distributed, fast, and reliable data storage.
🔸Arweave: focuses on file data storage, particularly suitable for storing data related to applications and websites.
The popular modern data storage method is BLOB (Binary Large Object), but the storage and access methods are often not optimal in decentralized environments.
🔸Project #Walrus is a decentralized solution designed to optimize BLOB storage.
