Mysten Labs 推出 Walrus Protocol 公共測試網，Akord 開始遷移

Web 3.0 基礎設施公司 Mysten Labs 今天宣布，在開發網取得成功之後，去中心化儲存網路 Walrus Protocol 也推出了公共測試網。

Mysten Labs, the Web 3.0 infrastructure company, announced today the public testnet launch of Walrus Protocol, a decentralized storage network, following a successful devnet.

Web 3.0 基礎設施公司 Mysten Labs 今天宣布繼成功開發網路之後，推出去中心化儲存網路 Walrus Protocol 的公開測試網。

Walrus Protocol stores and delivers large data files, including rich media content, audio files, videos, images, PDFs and more, from any Web 2.0 or Web 3.0-based source.

Walrus Protocol 儲存和交付來自任何基於 Web 2.0 或 Web 3.0 的來源的大型資料文件，包括富媒體內容、音訊檔案、視訊、圖像、PDF 等。

These large files – known as ‘blobs’ – are stored quickly and efficiently by Walrus, whose storage is resilient, scalable, programmable and secure.

這些大檔案（稱為「blob」）由 Walrus 快速且有效率地存儲，其儲存具有彈性、可擴展、可編程且安全的特性。

Walrus’s public testnet, and its testnet token, WAL, are served by Sui as the coordination layer.

Walrus 的公共測試網及其測試網代幣 WAL 由 Sui 作為協調層。

Sui provides a dedicated management architecture for Walrus to store its global state and metadata offering speedy consensus, composability and the opportunity to integrate storage into smart contracts on Sui.

Sui 為 Walrus 提供了專用的管理架構來儲存其全局狀態和元數據，從而提供快速共識、可組合性以及將儲存整合到 Sui 上的智慧合約中的機會。

Walrus’s testnet launch will include the following: A decentralized storage network for data and rich media content, enabling fast and reliable access to large text files, videos, images and audio from any Web 2.0 or Web 3.0 source.

Walrus 的測試網發布將包括以下內容： 用於資料和富媒體內容的去中心化儲存網絡，支援從任何 Web 2.0 或 Web 3.0 來源快速可靠地存取大型文字檔案、視訊、影像和音訊。

George Danezis, chief scientist and co-founder at Mysten Labs, said,

Mysten Labs 首席科學家兼共同創辦人 George Danezis 表示：

“As blockchain projects aim to become more decentralized, it has been apparent for quite some time that a decentralized storage network was needed for networks of all kinds – layer ones and layer twos – to support end-user applications with rich media and larger storage needs.

「隨著區塊鏈專案的目標變得更加去中心化，很長一段時間以來，很明顯，各種類型的網絡（第一層和第二層）都需要一個去中心化的存儲網絡，以支援具有豐富媒體和更大儲存需求的最終用戶應用程式。

“Walrus testnet going live is a pivotal moment in that journey. With Akord and Decrypt beginning the migration over to Walrus, we’ll begin to see that a decentralized storage network can be used to bring various applications to a mass audience.”

「Walrus 測試網的上線是這趟旅程中的關鍵時刻。隨著 Akord 和 Decrypt 開始遷移到 Walrus，我們將開始看到去中心化儲存網路可用於將各種應用程式帶給大眾。

Coinciding with the launch of Walrus’s public testnet, Akord — a secure storage and collaboration platform, providing user-friendly, cost-effective and decentralized storage solutions for any digital asset — announces its migration from Arweave to Walrus.

在 Walrus 公共測試網啟動之際，Akord（一個安全儲存和協作平台，為任何數位資產提供用戶友好、經濟高效且去中心化的儲存解決方案）宣布從 Arweave 遷移到 Walrus。

Akord is set to migrate to Walrus within the next week.

Akord 將於下週內遷移到 Walrus。

The move comes on the heels of Decrypt Media’s recent announcement of its plans to integrate with Walrus, making the publication the first media outlet to commit to storing media articles and video content on Walrus.

在此之前，Decrypt Media 最近宣布計劃與 Walrus 整合，使該出版物成為第一個致力於在 Walrus 上儲存媒體文章和影片內容的媒體機構。

Pascal Barry, CEO of Akord, said,

Akord 執行長 Pascal Barry 表示：

“At Akord, our mission is to create a platform that empowers individuals and businesses with meaningful data ownership – the ability to secure data publicly and tokenize it or store it privately with end-to-end encryption, controlling the keys and access.

「在 Akord，我們的使命是創建一個平台，為個人和企業提供有意義的數據所有權——能夠公開保護數據並將其標記化或透過端到端加密私下存儲數據，控制密鑰和訪問。

“Migrating to Walrus allows us to offer our existing customers a more cost-effective, versatile and performant solution, as well as giving us the opportunity to realize our mission at a much larger scale.”

“遷移到 Walrus 使我們能夠為現有客戶提供更具成本效益、多功能和高性能的解決方案，並讓我們有機會在更大的範圍內實現我們的使命。”

Powered by a system that divides large data files into smaller fragments, referred to as ‘red stuff,’ Walrus distributes slivers of data files across various storage nodes.

Walrus 的系統將大型資料檔案分割成更小的碎片（稱為「紅色碎片」），將資料檔案碎片分佈在各個儲存節點上。

This process ensures that even if some pieces go missing, the whole of the data can still be reconstructed.

這個過程確保即使某些部分遺失，整個資料仍然可以重建。

This approach reduces the need for data redundancy, allowing the network to grow seamlessly while ensuring fast and reliable access to data.

這種方法減少了對資料冗餘的需求，允許網路無縫增長，同時確保快速可靠地存取資料。

Walrus introduces advanced storage verification through proofs and attestations, incentivizing nodes to store slivers of each file.

Walrus 透過證明和證明引入了高階儲存驗證，激勵節點儲存每個檔案的碎片。

Instead of verifying individual files, Walrus assesses the entire storage node, significantly lowering the cost of proving data storage.

Walrus 不是驗證單一文件，而是評估整個儲存節點，從而顯著降低證明資料儲存的成本。

Walrus, whose original contributor is Mysten Labs, launched on Devnet in June 2024.

Walrus 的原始貢獻者是 Mysten Labs，於 2024 年 6 月在 Devnet 上發布。

Its whitepaper was available as of September 2024, presented by Janet Wu, head of product and platform of Mysten Labs, at Sui’s Singapore Builder House event.

其白皮書於 2024 年 9 月發布，由 Mysten Labs 產品和平台負責人 Janet Wu 在 Sui 的新加坡 Builder House 活動上介紹。

Walrus mainnet is slated to launch in 2025.

Walrus 主網預計於 2025 年推出。
