By leveraging Suiās high-speed, low-cost infrastructure, Talus provides the ultimate battleground for Talus AI agents to evolve, optimize, and make plays in real time. As part of this initiative, Talus will launch Nexus, its onchain agentic framework and debut its AI consumer platform, Idol.fun, on Sui.
In addition to integrating with Sui, Talus selected Walrus as its default decentralized storage platform. Walrus, a decentralized storage protocol that allows any application to publish, read, and program any data type onchain, can support Talus in a number of ways, including:
1) Storage of large AI models 2) Data retrieval for decision making 3) Trusted onchain history for AI agents
