TradePort, a multichain NFT marketplace,
announced it will utilize Walrus, the decentralized
data storage application developed by Mysten Labs, in order to
store metadata for all its Move-based ecosystem NFT projects. As
the largest NFT marketplace on Sui, TradePort streamlines and
enhances NFT trading across multiple blockchain networks, which
currently include Sui, Aptos, NEAR, Movement, and Stacks.
Walrus Protocol, which launched its Testnet in October of 2024,
stores and delivers large unstructured data files, including rich
media content, audio files, video, images, and PDFs, from any Web2
or Web3-based source. These large files, known as blobs, are stored
quickly and efficiently by Walrus, whose storage is resilient,
scalable, programmable, and secure. Walrus’s public Testnet and its
forthcoming Mainnet are served by Sui as the coordination
layer.
“Initially, decentralized storage may sound like a
concept you’ve heard of before,” said George Danezis, Chief
Scientist and Co-Founder of Mysten Labs. “But on a smart contract
platform like Sui, storage is capable of logic and programmability,
which is a complete game-changer.”
“Object-based NFTs rise far above what the NFTs of the
2022 boom were able to achieve,” said Daniel Fritsche, Co-Founder
of TradePort. “Thanks to their innate structure, Sui and other Move
chains enable dynamic and composable NFTs, which dramatically open
up the possibilities of NFT use cases. Add in programmable storage,
and the attached NFT metadata becomes just as dynamic and
responsive. This is only possible on a performant storage network
like Walrus.”
In addition to existing NFT metadata, all data from TradePort’s
NFT collections released via their launchpad will be stored on
Walrus.
TradePort will be one of the first partners to store data on
Walrus Mainnet, which will be launched in the near
future.
