L1 Blockchain Linera Selects Walrus as Its Storage Solution

Linera chooses Walrus as its storage layer for its microchain infrastructure.

Linera, the blockchain for hyper-connected, real-time applications, will integrate Walrus, the decentralized storage protocol that allows any application to publish, read, and program any data type onchain. Integrating Walrus’ onchain storage capabilities with Linera’s innovative microchain architecture unlocks new possibilities for developers building scalable and  responsive Web3 applications.

Based on a unique architecture, the Linera blockchain distinguishes itself by running many lightweight chains, known as microchains, within a single set of validators. For the first time, Linera’s microchains enable high-performance decentralized applications to scale horizontally by distributing computation and data processing across an unlimited number of parallel chains.

Walrus will use Linera as a verification infrastructure for large unstructured data files that are stored and managed on Walrus, known as blobs, to enhance data integrity and processing speed. Concurrently, Linera will utilize Walrus as a storage layer for its infrastructure and make it easy to use for Linera applications.
