Swarm Network Selects Walrus to Power Verifiable AI on Rollup.News
A new integration brings decentralized, programmable storage to Swarm's AI coordination layer on Sui
Swarm Network, the decentralized multi-agent protocol behind Rollup.News, has integrated Walrus, the decentralized data layer built on Sui, to power verifiable AI at scale. Rollup.News acts as a decentralized assistant for social media, enabling real-time fact-checking through AI agents that generate onchain records of claims, sources, and context. Currently, Swarm is storing claims data on Walrus, and will subsequently add storage for agent communication logs, evidence and reasoning artifacts laying the groundwork for a more transparent, audit-ready AI ecosystem.
Swarm enables real-time fact-checking through decentralized AI agents that collaborate to verify social media claims and write consensus-backed attestations to the blockchain. As the volume and complexity of this data continue to grow, Swarm identified a need for a scalable, decentralized solution for managing media-heavy and context-rich records. Walrus delivers the infrastructure to persistently store and retrieve this data onchain via Tusky, a user-friendly file management layer for Walrus that features end-to-end encryption and full user key control.
Key data types to be stored on Walrus include rollup summaries, media files, knowledge graphs, agent logs, and attestation records. These assets are organized across hot, warm, and cold storage tiers to optimize performance while ensuring verifiability and permanence. Swarm is also extending its Truth Protocol to index this data using smart contracts, enabling agents to reference past reasoning and context in future rollups.
'Swarm is building one of the most forward-looking applications in decentralized AI,' said Rebecca Simmonds, Managing Executive at Walrus Foundation. 'They are not just generating insights, they are building a new standard for trust and transparency. As Swarm Network continues its rapid growth, Walrus ensures that every piece of evidence and context is preserved, programmable, and accessible.'
'Verifiable AI demands more than just smart algorithms. It needs memory, context, and proof,' said Yannick Myson, CEO of Swarm Network. 'As we build an open, audit-ready knowledge graph that connects agent outputs, claims histories, and media artifacts across Swarm's AI and human contributors, we identified a glaring need surrounding storage capabilities. With Walrus, we are turning ephemeral agent work into persistent, onchain knowledge that anyone can audit and build on.'
Swarm Network's integration of Walrus follows similar technical adoptions of the decentralized storage platform, including OpenGradient and io.net, highlighting Walrus's commitment to serving AI builders and its expanding role in enabling secure, scalable infrastructure for next-generation AI applications.

Walrus Integrates with Pipe Network to Increase Bandwidth and Reduce Latency Across Multiple Chains
Walrus to leverage Pipe Network's more than 280,000 Point of Presence ('PoP') nodes to speed up delivery at the edge, while the Pipe Network will leverage Walrus storage to provide a multichain experience Pipe Foundation, launch partner for the Pipe Network, and decentralized data storage protocol and application development platform, Walrus, today announced a partnership to integrate their respective solutions so the Pipe Network will act as Walrus's content-delivery layer. The Pipe Network will use Walrus storage capabilities in order to extend its reach, increasing bandwidth and reducing latency across multiple high-throughput blockchains. Walrus chose to partner with the Pipe Network because its DePIN architecture already spans more than 280K community-run PoP nodes worldwide. Walrus users will read and write data through the nearest PoP, keeping R-U retrieval latency under 50 ms even at the network edge. All traffic stays on a decentralized path, preserving end-to-end ownership and auditability. David Rhodus, Founder of Permissionless Labs, a core contributor to the Pipe Network, commented on the news, 'Walrus partnered with us because our global, DePIN enabled footprint eliminates the single region bottlenecks you get with legacy CDNs like Cloudflare. Additionally, our robust PoP node infrastructure will optimize Walrus's ability to deliver large dynamic files, like video content. So whether you're in rural Patagonia or New York City, content now rides the shortest path.' The key challenge with existing solutions is that they aren't optimized for performance delivery at the edge, especially for large or dynamic files. Walrus, developed by the original contributors to the leading smart contract platform and layer 1 blockchain Sui, is designed to act as the data layer for the future of decentralized internet applications, delivering programmable and scalable storage for virtually any project. The programmable nature of Walrus' network allows users to do more with their data, enabling information to seamlessly move between storage, availability, and compute as opposed to simple static storage from other decentralized data platforms. Rebecca Simmonds, Managing Executive of the Walrus Foundation, added, 'Much like cloud data storage solutions, current web2 based content delivery networks like Cloudflare aren't optimized for performance at the edge of the network, relying on centralized data centers in high demand markets versus a decentralized network of nodes incentivized to support underserved regions. Leveraging Pipe's 280,000 globally distributed PoP nodes, Walrus will gain access to increased bandwidth and reduced latency in high traffic environments and underserved regions alike, making the Pipe Network our ideal partner for last mile content delivery. We're also thrilled that our storage capabilities extend the reach of their network and make them a multichain solution." By partnering with Pipe Foundation, Walrus will unlock further cost management for both users and developers as well as increased performance for content delivery, allowing the platform to accommodate everything from simple data storage to high-throughput data requirements like those for decentralized AI development. About Walrus Walrus is a decentralized data storage protocol and application development platform that allows apps to publish, read, and program large data files and rich media content such as videos, images, and audio.
