Walrus Foundation has closed a $140 million token sale ahead of the mainnet launch of its decentralized data storage protocol and application development platform on March 27.

Walrus Foundation於3月27日在主流推出其分散數據存儲協議和應用程序開發平台之前已完成了1.4億美元的代幣銷售。

The fundraising was led by Standard Crypto and also attracted participation from a16z crypto, Electric Capital, Creditcoin, Lvna Capital, Protagonist, Franklin Templeton Digital Assets, Karatage, RW3 Ventures, Comma3 Ventures, and The Raptor Group, the Foundation said in a blog post on Wednesday.

籌款活動由標準加密貨幣（Standard Crypto）領導，還吸引了A16Z加密貨幣，電氣資本，信用額，LVNA資本，主角，富蘭克林·鄧普頓（Franklin Templeton）數字資產，卡拉塔奇，RW3 Ventures，Comma3 Ventures和Raptor Group的參與。

The fresh funding will be used for the expansion and maintenance of the protocol.

新的資金將用於擴展和維護協議。

Announced earlier this month, the Walrus Protocol, initially developed by Mysten Labs on the Sui blockchain, allows any application to publish, read, and program large data files.

本月初宣布的Walrus協議最初由Mysten Labs在SUI區塊鏈上開發，允許任何應用程序發布，閱讀和編​​程大數據文件。

Applications ranging from AI datasets, rich media files, and websites to blockchain history can manage on-chain and off-chain data files, referred to as blobs, via Move-based smart contracts.

從AI數據集，豐富的媒體文件和網站到區塊鏈歷史記錄的應用程序可以通過基於移動的智能合約來管理鏈上和鍊鍊數據文件（稱為BLOBS）。

“We are incredibly grateful for the support of our investors as we embark on this exciting journey to revolutionize decentralized storage,” said Rebecca Simmonds, Managing Executive of Walrus Foundation. “By leveraging Sui’s unique architecture, we’re making storing data programmable, interactive, and secure.

“我們非常感謝投資者的支持，因為我們踏上了這一令人興奮的革新分散存儲的旅程，” Walrus Foundation執行主管Rebecca Simmonds說。 “通過利用SUI的獨特體系結構，我們正在使存儲數據可編程，交互式和安全。

"Walrus is uniquely positioned to capitalize on this growing market and this funding will allow us to drive the adoption of programmable storage across industries as businesses search for flexible and verifiable data solutions.”

“海像是在這個不斷增長的市場上所利用的獨特位置，這項資金將使我們能夠在企業尋找靈活和可驗證的數據解決方案時推動整個行業的可編程存儲。”

Adam Goldberg, Managing Director and Co-Founder at Standard Crypto added: “Prior on-chain storage attempts have struggled with scalability, flexibility, and security, limiting their adoption within a rapidly expanding set of use cases for both apps and infrastructure. We believe, with Walrus, we finally have an internet-scale and crypto-native storage platform designed for the coming era of data-heavy blockchain adoption.”
