Linera Integrates Walrus Protocol to Enhance Web3 Data Management
Linera is integrating Walrus, a decentralized storage protocol, to improve on-chain data handling. This partnership enables faster and more scalable Web3 applications through Linera's microchain architecture, which processes transactions independently and reduces congestion.
- Walrus enhances efficient on-chain storage and management of diverse data types.
- The collaboration allows developers to create better decentralized apps by addressing blockchain data management challenges.
- Linera will use Walrus for blob storage management, ensuring security and low latency.
- Walrus will leverage Linera’s verification mechanisms for data integrity.
Rebecca Simmonds from Walrus emphasized the streamlined creation of decentralized applications. Mathieu Baudet, CEO of Linera, noted that the integration supports real-time processing and complex use cases, enhancing scalability for Web3.
Upcoming Launches
Walrus, launched by Mysten Labs in 2024, plans to launch its mainnet and WAL token in March. The WAL token will facilitate affordable, secure, and governed large-scale data storage.
- WAL designed for long-term sustainability with predictable storage costs.
- Users can prepay for storage with WAL for stable rates.
- Governance remains decentralized, allowing node operators to vote on protocol changes.
Lithium Digital has announced running a node on the Walrus Protocol, which utilizes an advanced DPoS system built on the Sui Network.
