When it comes to privacy and security, these are the most concerned issues for many on-chain users. The Walrus protocol has recently attracted a lot of attention, mainly because it has put a lot of effort into these two aspects.

What is the core of this protocol? Simply put, it provides a private and secure on-chain interaction environment. It has its own native token WAL, which not only offers basic DeFi functions but also builds a complete ecosystem—private transactions, dApp participation, community governance, staking… almost everything you would expect. The true goal is to make data storage and transactions both decentralized and private.

Why is privacy so important? In traditional financial systems, your data is monitored by various intermediaries for years, with risks of leaks, censorship, and misuse at any time. Walrus completely changes this situation with advanced encryption technology. You can perform asset transfers, DeFi operations, and even execute smart contracts without revealing personal information, keeping transaction details fully confidential.

This is especially useful for enterprise applications, personal investments, or scenarios that require handling sensitive information. In simple terms, it allows you to truly control your digital assets without having to rely on anyone else’s approval.

The Walrus protocol is built on the Sui blockchain. Sui is a high-performance, scalable Layer 1 network, and this combination looks quite promising.
