As a next-generation infrastructure provider, Nami Cloud delivers S3-compatible decentralized storage and a seamless gateway to the Walrus ecosystem. The platform’s mission is to abstract away the complexity of Web3 infrastructure, allowing developers to migrate from AWS S3 or other cloud providers in minutes.
By offering high-performance storage that optimizes data accessibility across networks, reliable RPC services, and simplified tooling, Nami Cloud eliminates the friction developers often face when building decentralized applications. Developers can use Nami Cloud to simplify integration with Sui-based smart contracts and decentralized storage on Walrus, ensuring their apps can run smoothly with reliability, scalability, and cost efficiency.
Challenge
While building their gateway, the Nami Cloud team identified several critical infrastructure hurdles that prevent decentralized applications from achieving mainstream adoption. Developers are often forced to choose between the performance of centralized storage and the security of decentralized storage, creating architectural trade-offs. Integrating decentralized storage into applications can be complex, leading to unreliable performance and high latency that results in a poor user experience.
For many teams, the S3 API is already the backbone of their storage workflows. Yet most decentralized solutions break compatibility, forcing expensive reengineering. Without a plug-and-play S3 endpoint in Web3, adoption stalls — which is exactly the gap Nami Cloud fills.
Further, many existing RPC services act as bottlenecks, becoming slow and unreliable under the high transaction loads required by scalable applications. These challenges collectively slow down development and limit the potential of decentralized applications to compete with their Web2 counterparts.
Solution
Nami Cloud integrated the Walrus technology stack as its foundational layer to overcome these challenges. Walrus provides a Sui-native decentralized storage layer that’s fast, cost-efficient, and seamlessly integrated with Sui smart contracts. Builders can add Seal, a decentralized secrets management system, to offer encryption and onchain access policies for sensitive data, with access policies that are also Move smart contracts.
The native connection between Walrus and Sui removes the complexity and latency issues associated with generic storage solutions, allowing Sui-based apps built on Nami Cloud to effortlessly interact with data stored on Walrus. To solve the issue of unreliable network communication, Nami Cloud leverages Walrus RPC 2.0, ensuring faster and more dependable transaction processing and data retrieval.
Nami Cloud also integrated Seal’s robust encryption and onchain access control to offer privacy-preserving computation and encrypted storage, unlocking a new class of secure and confidential data for decentralized apps.
Walrus’s data layer is the perfect foundation for our S3-compatible, decentralized cloud platform. Together, we’re making data management as fast, reliable, and easy to use as the leading cloud providers without sacrificing security or trustlessness.
Why Walrus?
Nami Cloud chose Walrus because it offers a unified and deeply integrated infrastructure stack purpose-built for the Sui ecosystem. Unlike generic solutions that require complex workarounds, Walrus is designed to work seamlessly with Sui smart contracts, enabling true composability between the storage, RPC, and compute layers. Together, this native compatibility provides the low-latency performance and reliability developers need to power high-demand, next-generation applications.
Integrating Walrus as a decentralized data storage layer with Sui smart contracts supercharges development for Nami Cloud’s users, unlocking new abilities like:
- Onchain triggers for offchain data: Smart contracts can read, update, and verify data stored on Walrus in real-time.
- Dynamic decentralized application storage: Applications can programmatically store, retrieve, and manipulate user-generated content while keeping interactions verifiable onchain.
- Optimized infrastructure: By leveraging Walrus RPC 2.0 and Seal, Nami Cloud ensures faster, more reliable transaction processing and data retrieval compared to traditional RPCs.
Integrating Seal is also a game-changer for Nami Cloud and its users. Seal introduces privacy-preserving features that were previously difficult to implement, enabling developers to build applications with security and confidentiality at their core.
Building Sui-based apps together with Walrus and Seal unlocks new use cases for builders on Nami Cloud, like:
- Encrypted storage: Users can store sensitive data, such as credentials and private assets, with full encryption.
- Confidential smart contract execution: Onchain apps can process private user data without exposing it onchain, enabling use cases like private auctions and secure messaging.
- Privacy-preserving AI: AI models can be trained on encrypted user data without sacrificing confidentiality.
Powered by Walrus and encrypted with Seal, Nami Cloud is transforming storage from a passive data repository into an active, programmable layer, paving the way for a new generation of sophisticated, private, and performant apps on Sui.
