Mysten Labs has unveiled a testnet for the Walrus Protocol, a decentralized storage network for large data files.
Walrus Protocol Launch
The testnet built on the Sui blockchain introduces key features including file deletion, a staking system, and an explorer tool. Decentralized storage distributes files across multiple nodes, ensuring better security and resilience.
Walrus Technology Features
Walrus Protocol breaks large files into smaller pieces distributed across different locations. Even if some pieces are lost, the entire file can be reassembled, ensuring continuous data access for users.
Walrus Partnerships and Integration
Notable partners Akord and Decrypt Media are joining Walrus. Akord is moving its secure storage platform from Arweave to Walrus, and Decrypt Media is integrating to store its media files on the Walrus network.
The launch of Walrus Protocol opens up new possibilities in decentralized storage, partnering with renowned companies.
