Interestingly, I recently saw the testnet data released by Walrus Protocol, and the results are quite impressive. 80TB of data storage, over 13.45 million addresses—this scale validates the feasibility of large-scale commercial use.
All core metrics seem to be in place. Transaction count has surpassed 25 million, with over 500 nodes running on the network. The most eye-catching aspects are cost and speed—storage costs are actually 80 to 100 times lower than traditional solutions, and read speeds are 3 to 5 times faster than IPFS. That's quite a difference.
Innovations at the technical level are also worth noting. RedStuff error correction code has been adopted, with a replication factor of only 45 to maintain reliability, greatly aiding cost optimization. Data is sharded and distributed across multiple nodes, naturally enhancing security. The highlight is the deep integration with Sui smart contracts, which directly upgrades the development experience. Coupled with cross-chain support, this brings flexibility in storage and querying.
From an ecosystem perspective, leading projects like Chainbase and Humanity Protocol have already integrated, indicating market recognition. The 13.45 million address base has laid a solid foundation for the subsequent mainnet launch, and all technical indicators have been validated.
With such data on the testnet, what will the mainnet look like?
