Trong Web3, dữ liệu là tất cả. Các hợp đồng thông minh, NFT, DeFi, tài sản trò chơi, dữ liệu AI - tất cả đều không quan trọng nếu dữ liệu nền tảng có thể biến mất, bị kiểm duyệt hoặc thất bại vào đúng thời điểm cần thiết nhất. Trong nhiều năm qua, các nhà phát triển buộc phải dựa vào các hệ thống mong manh: các máy chủ tập trung được che đậy dưới hình thức phi tập trung, hoặc các lớp lưu trữ sụp đổ dưới áp lực mở rộng.
@Walrus 🦭/acc chuyển đổi hoàn toàn câu chuyện này.
Xây dựng cho một thế giới mà dữ liệu phải tồn tại vĩnh viễn, có thể xác minh và truy cập toàn cầu, Walrus Protocol đang định nghĩa lại ý nghĩa thực sự của "dữ liệu an toàn" trong Web3.

The internet is entering a new phase. Builders no longer want fragile servers, rising hosting bills, or single points of failure. They want websites that are global, permanent, censorship-resistant, and cost-efficient from day one.
That is exactly where Walrus Sites step in redefining how websites are built, published, and accessed in Web3.
Powered by Walrus Protocol, Walrus Sites enable developers and creators to host complete websites in a fully decentralized way, without sacrificing performance or user experience. No wallets. No extensions. Just the open web rebuilt on decentralized foundations.
What Are Walrus Sites?
Walrus Sites are fully decentralized websites where all site assets HTML, CSS, JavaScript, images, videos, and media are stored as objects on Walrus rather than on traditional servers.
Unlike Web2 hosting (AWS, Vercel, Netlify) or many Web3 experiments that rely on gateways or centralized layers, Walrus Sites are designed to be:
Native to decentralized storage
Globally accessible
Highly resilient
Developer-friendly
Once published, a Walrus Site becomes a permanent, tamper-resistant web object that can be accessed by anyone, anywhere, using a normal browser.
How Walrus Sites Work (Step-by-Step)
1. Create Your Site in Any Web Framework
Developers can build websites using any modern web framework:
React, Vue, Svelte
Next.js, Astro, Vite
Plain HTML/CSS/JS
There are no restrictions on tooling. If it can produce static or client-rendered assets, it can be deployed on Walrus.
This means:
No new languages to learn
No custom SDK lock-in
No Web3 complexity during development
You build exactly the way you already know.
2. Publish the Site to Walrus
Once your site is ready, it is published to Walrus as a collection of objects.
During publishing:
Site assets are chunked and stored using Walrus’ scalable object storage
Redundancy and erasure coding ensure durability
The site is distributed across the network
After publishing, you receive:
A unique Object ID
A public URL linked to that object
This Object ID becomes the site’s immutable reference on the decentralized web.
3. Access the Site from Any Browser
Here’s the key breakthrough:
Users do NOT need a wallet, private keys, or browser extensions.
Walrus Sites:
Load directly in standard browsers
Feel identical to Web2 websites
Work on mobile and desktop
Are accessible globally
For end users, nothing changes.
For the web, everything changes.
Why Walrus Sites Are Different
1. True Decentralization
Traditional “Web3 hosting” often relies on centralized gateways or fallback servers. Walrus Sites store all resources directly on Walrus, eliminating hidden trust assumptions.
There is:
No single hosting provider
No central server to shut down
No dependency on uptime promises
2. High Resilience and Availability
Walrus Sites remain accessible even if:
Individual nodes go offline
Regions experience outages
Traffic spikes unexpectedly
Because data is distributed and replicated, the site continues to serve users without interruption.
3. Cost-Efficient Hosting
Hosting costs are predictable and competitive:
No monthly server bills
No bandwidth surprises
No scaling fees during traffic spikes
You pay for storage not for uptime anxiety.
4. Censorship Resistance
Once deployed:
Sites cannot be altered or taken down by a single authority
Content remains accessible globally
Builders retain control over their work
This is especially powerful for:
Open publishing
Independent journalism
DAO infrastructure
Community-led platforms
Key Use Cases for Walrus Sites
1. Project & Protocol Websites
Crypto and Web3 projects need websites that:
Stay online during peak attention
Can’t be censored or altered
Are transparent and verifiable
Walrus Sites ensure the official site remains available forever, even during extreme traffic or controversy.
2. Documentation & Knowledge Bases
Technical documentation should be:
Permanent
Publicly verifiable
Immune to link rot
Hosting docs on Walrus ensures developers always have access to the same trusted source.
3. DAO Frontends
DAOs depend on frontends to:
Access governance
Submit proposals
Interact with treasury tools
Walrus Sites reduce the risk of frontend shutdowns, ensuring DAO continuity.
4. NFT & Creator Portfolios
Creators can host:
Art portfolios
NFT collections
Personal websites
Without worrying about platform bans, hosting fees, or broken links.
5. Educational & Public Resources
From open courses to research archives, Walrus Sites are ideal for public-good infrastructure that should remain accessible long-term.
Developer Experience: Built for Builders
Walrus Sites are designed to remove friction:
No special browsers
No mandatory wallets
No proprietary frameworks
Developers focus on building, not infrastructure maintenance.
This aligns with the broader Web3 vision:
Decentralization without sacrificing usability.

Why Walrus Sites Matter for the Future Web
Websites are the front doors of the internet. If those doors depend on centralized infrastructure, the web remains fragile.
Walrus Sites prove that:
Decentralization can be practical
User experience doesn’t need to suffer
Builders don’t need to compromise
By combining object-based storage, resilience, and browser-native access, Walrus Sites push Web3 beyond experiments into real-world adoption.
Final Thoughts
Walrus Sites are not just another hosting solution.
They represent a shift in how websites exist from temporary servers to permanent, decentralized objects.
For builders, creators, DAOs, and communities, this means:
More freedom
More resilience
More control
The decentralized web is no longer theoretical.
With Walrus Sites, it is live, usable, and ready to scale.
The future of websites is decentralized and it’s already here.

Internet đang phát triển thêm một lần nữa. Giống như Web2 đã thay thế các trang tĩnh bằng các nền tảng động, Web3 hiện đang định nghĩa lại cách các trang web được xây dựng, lưu trữ và sở hữu. Ở trung tâm của sự thay đổi này là Walrus Sites - một mô hình mới về lưu trữ trang web, hoàn toàn phi tập trung, hiệu quả về chi phí và có sẵn trên toàn cầu. Được vận hành bởi Walrus Protocol, Walrus Sites thách thức những giới hạn của cả lưu trữ Web2 truyền thống và các lựa chọn Web3 trước đây.
Trong thời đại mà thời gian hoạt động, khả năng chống kiểm duyệt và hiệu quả về chi phí quan trọng hơn bao giờ hết, Walrus Sites giới thiệu một mô hình lưu trữ được thiết kế để đảm bảo độ bền lâu dài và sự phi tập trung thực sự.
