With Seal, Walrus Becomes The First Decentralized Data Platform With Access Controls
The post With Seal, Walrus Becomes The First Decentralized Data Platform With Access Controls appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands, September 3rd, 2025, Chainwire Seal is now available with Walrus Mainnet, offering encryption and access control for anyone building on the protocol. As the data layer for Web3, Walrus already provides decentralized infrastructure for data storage, availability, and programmability. With the launch of Seal, Walrus now delivers a solution for integrating programmable data access into any app at any scale. Web3’s transparency means data is public by default. For many, that is a benefit, while others require privacy or access controls. Walrus with Seal enables builders to create products that not only require verifiable data but also data privacy, fine-grained access, and secured sharing. A whole world of Web3 apps becomes possible when these technologies work together. Making privacy part of public infrastructure Transparency is the core ethos of Web3, but the idea that your data is visible to everyone can present challenges for builders and users alike. For those who need to manage potentially sensitive data, it’s a nonstarter. Anyone who wants to keep data confidential either has to use a centralized service or build a custom setup–not only time-consuming and expensive, but also a barrier to entry for newcomers exploring onchain data management solutions. Thanks to the launch of Seal, Walrus is the first decentralized data platform to natively offer onchain access control. Developers can now protect sensitive data, define who can access it, and enforce those rules entirely onchain. Unlocking transformative use cases With the addition of programmable data access control, Walrus now enables entirely new categories of applications that were previously impossible in decentralized environments. For example: AI Dataset Marketplaces: Organizations can now share proprietary training data or fine-tuned models while enforcing strict access policies. Data providers can monetize their assets without losing control, creating new revenue streams in the AI economy.…
