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协议最初由Mysten Labs在SUI区块链上开发，允许任何应用程序发布，阅读和编​​程大数据文件。

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.

从AI数据集，丰富的媒体文件和网站到区块链历史记录的应用程序可以通过基于移动的智能合约来管理链上和链链数据文件（称为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.

“我们非常感谢投资者的支持，因为我们踏上了这一令人兴奋的革新分散存储的旅程，” Walrus Foundation执行主管Rebecca Simmonds说。 “通过利用SUI的独特体系结构，我们正在使存储数据可编程，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.”

“海象是在这个不断增长的市场上所利用的独特位置，这项资金将使我们能够在企业寻找灵活和可验证的数据解决方案时推动整个行业的可编程存储。”

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.”
