Mysten Lab has [introduced](https://mystenlabs.com/blog/announcing-walrus-a-decentralized-storage-and-data-availability-protocol) **Walrus**, a decentralized storage network that uses [Sui](https://sui.io/) for coordination and offers two main benefits: Cost-Effective Storage & High Availability.  

With [Walrus](https://walrus.site/) you can store, read, and certify the availability of large amounts of data on a network of distributed storage nodes. This allows media files like images, videos, game assets, AI models and dApps front-ends to be stored and served as Walrus Sites.

**Walrus** is secured by Sui Blockchain, a horizontally scalable Byzantine fault-tolerant (BFT) and Delegated proof-of-stake (DPoS) consensus blockchain. A public Walrus devnet is now available to all developers for preview and comments.
