Walrus Haulout Hackathon 2025

Powered by DeepSurge | Featuring Walrus, Seal, and Nautilus

Building the Next Wave of On-Chain Data

The decentralized data layer is here. Walrus, Seal, and Nautilus are redefining how data is stored, verified, and accessed across the Sui ecosystem — secure, composable, and infinitely scalable.

Haulout is your chance to explore. Build storage-powered apps, AI tools, data marketplaces, or verification systems using Walrus’ decentralized storage and Seal/Nautilus integrations. Whether you’re a first-time builder or a veteran developer, this is where you can start innovating.

Learn how Walrus powers verifiable data and how Seal and Nautilus extend its capabilities.

About Walrus

Walrus is a decentralized storage protocol that turns data into verifiable on-chain assets. It works hand-in-hand with Seal, a consensus layer for distributed storage validation, and Nautilus, a high-performance data indexing engine.

Together, they create a foundation for transparent, provably authentic, and programmable data infrastructure on Sui.
