The foundation supports the Walrus protocol, a decentralized network for storing files.
The Walrus Foundation has successfully raised $140 million from investors including Standard Crypto and Andreessen Horowitz (a16z) to develop a high-speed storage network. This initiative aims to create a decentralized storage solution that promises to be faster, more secure, and cost-effective compared to traditional centralized cloud storage systems. The funding will support the expansion of the network's infrastructure, enhance its technology, and increase its capacity to handle large-scale data storage needs. The project is part of a broader movement towards decentralized technologies, which seek to reduce reliance on single points of failure and enhance data privacy and security.
