HUGE! Can SUI beat Amazon AWS with Walrus Protocol?

Sui has been one of the darlings of this cycle. $SUI is up 395% in the last 12 months. That beats Bitcoin and practically everything else, with only 1 or 2 exceptions in the top 100 projects. And the team behind Sui, Mysten Labs, is throwing all their energy into one of their amazing ecosystem projects.

Do you know which one? It’s decentralized data storage provider Walrus Protocol, which is challenging the beast of centralized storage, AWS. Let’s learn more about Walrus Protocol together.

Better, Faster, Cheaper Storage with Walrus Protocol

Walrus Protocol ($WAL) has a few natural advantages over other storage providers. Walrus is proving to be faster and cheaper than Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Google Cloud. 

Developers and users alike love Walrus for its programmability, access control, and ability to store huge files easily. Here are these advantages in more detail.

The first one is the Move programming language that Sui and its entire ecosystem uses.

Move is an object-oriented language. And it means storing your content as objects is easier. Like NFTs. But not just those. Also, huge hunks of data like an AI LLM store easily as objects, too. And for less money than Filecoin or Arweave.

Another part of the better, faster for Walrus is Seal, which is coming soon. Another Mysten Labs creation, its decentralized secrets’ management. That means encryption and user access control have improved even more than the original protocol. Seal is one of the things that lets you store a decentralized AI model and run a business with it.

For example, Deepseek or Qwen are both lightweight AI models. You can download them, sometimes even onto a phone. And you can definitely load them onto a robust storage platform like Walrus.

But then what about when you train it and launch a product? Your users need access, but not the same full access you have.

That’s Seal. User access controls so you can create your own AI model wrapper business like a Quillbot or Jasper. Or create something totally new.

Or even better, take your company’s data and make a private GPT trained on your data that only your company can access. Now you are treating your data as the high priority it really is.

Taking decentralized AI one step further, Walrus is a great place to create AI Agents and run them. Talus Network is doing exactly that to run AI agents on Sui. Pretty sweet.

Get Swarmed is another. They create decentralized AI Agent swarms. Those are groups of agents working together, all operating on Sui running on Walrus.

Decentralized AI is going to be a big deal. Especially so for private companies wanting to train their data but not share it with the public. And only storage providers like Walrus can make that happen.

Pudgy Penguins Using Walrus Protocol

The Pudgy Penguins NFT collection is up 217% in the last 30 days. And Pudgy Penguins is storing all their media assets now on Walrus.

Now I’m not going to go and say Pudgy holders made money thanks to Walrus……. Yet it is telling. And winners always seek out other winners.

The Claynosaurz collection moved everything from Solana to Sui by way of Walrus. Other NFT infrastructure like TradePort and CrossMint are on Walrus now too. If you believe that NFT collections can and will make a comeback, then a key part of the Sui NFT ecosystem is Walrus. Plain and simple.

And another area NFT holders and all crypto investors need to worry about are phishing scams and hacks of browser-based or other hot wallets. Top security protocol CryptoGuard is launching soon on Walrus. It protects Sui ecosystem holders who use Chrome, Firefox, Brave, Opera, and other browsers, too.

Walrus is thinking of everything. Better, faster, cheaper, and more secure all at the same time.

$WAL Token

Here we have a great product in Walrus. And a winning team behind it with the Mysten Labs team.

So how’s the token doing? The native $WAL token is down 20% since its March launch at 46c. But we know 2025 until just the last week has been very unkind to most alts outside the top 50 projects.

But Walrus is on the way to becoming a top 50 project. It’s in the top 150 already, and it’s only been public for 3.5 months. You’re at a slight discount from TGE and 30% higher than the lows of about 4 weeks ago. The all-time high so far is 75.9 cents. That would be a 75% ROI when it returns to that level from here. That shouldn’t be too tough for them to achieve.

The Sui ecosystem is one of the healthiest in the industry. And that benefits Walrus, just as Walrus benefits the ecosystem. This discount is a great buying opportunity for one of Sui’s top ecosystem projects. And given their track record, do you really want to bet against the Sui team? We don’t. So try Walrus today for your data storage needs large or small.
