Introducing Nami Cloud: The Decentralized Future of Cloud Storage

Nami Team

The digital revolution demands infrastructure that is as dynamic, open, and resilient as the applications it supports. Today, we proudly introduce Nami Cloud—a decentralized cloud platform engineered to redefine how developers, enterprises, and Web3 ecosystems store data, deploy applications, and scale infrastructure. Initially built on Sui’s high-performance storage chain Walrus, Nami Cloud merges enterprise-grade reliability with the permissionless innovation of blockchain, offering a seamless bridge between Web2 workflows and Web3 sovereignty.

Why Nami Cloud? Vision for a Decentralized Era

Centralized cloud giants have long imposed constraints—vendor lock-in, unpredictable costs, and centralized points of failure. Web3 demands infrastructure that prioritizes ownership, transparency, and resilience.

Nami Cloud is not just a storage solution; it’s a paradigm shift. We’re building a decentralized Amazon S3 for Web3, designed to empower developers with familiar tools while unlocking the full potential of blockchain-native scalability and security. Our vision is to become the foundational layer for a new internet—where data is immutable, infrastructure is community-governed, and innovation is unbounded.

Nami Cloud Architecture: Powering the Next Generation of Decentralized Apps

Nami Cloud’s modular architecture combines battle-tested Web2 compatibility with groundbreaking Web3 innovation. Here’s how we deliver unmatched performance and flexibility:

1. Nami Storage: Decentralized Object Storage, Reinvented

At the core of Nami Cloud lies Nami Storage, a robust, S3-compatible decentralized storage platform designed for enterprises and builders alike:

S3-Compatible Platform: Migrate seamlessly from AWS S3 or other providers. Nami Storage supports all standard S3 APIs, SDKs, and tools, ensuring zero friction for developers.

File Acceleration via Edge Networks: Access data instantly, no matter where your users are. Our globally distributed edge nodes cache frequently accessed content, slashing latency and delivering sub-second response times.

Multi-Storage Publisher Service: Upload and manage data your way. Choose from HTTP API, CLI, Telegram bots, or custom integrations—all designed for flexibility in how you interact with storage.

2. Dedicated Validators: Enterprise-Grade Performance with NVMe SSD

Nami Cloud’s validator nodes are engineered for speed and reliability:

NVMe SSD Infrastructure: Leverage cutting-edge storage hardware to ensure rapid block validation, transaction finality, and data integrity.

High-Throughput Consensus: Participate in Sui’s Walrus network with nodes optimized for low-latency operations, securing the network while maximizing uptime.

Validator-as-a-Service (VaaS): Deploy enterprise-grade validators in minutes, with automated maintenance and monitoring.

3. Nami Deploy: The Vercel of Web3

Launch dApps faster than ever with Nami Deploy, a one-click deployment platform:

Git Integration: Connect your GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket repository and deploy with a single command.

Zero-Config Automation: Nami handles SSL certificates, global CDN routing, and auto-scaling—so you can focus on code, not DevOps.

Decentralized Edge Network: Distribute your app across thousands of edge nodes for resilience and lightning-fast access.

4. Railgun: Accelerated Storage for Demanding Workloads

For applications requiring real-time performance, Railgun delivers:

Instant Data Retrieval: Sub-100ms latency for hot storage needs, ideal for gaming, streaming, or financial applications.

Dynamic Scaling: Automatically allocate resources during traffic spikes without manual intervention.

Infrastructure Assurance: Built to Power Sui’s Walrus

Nami Cloud isn’t just a user of Walrus—we’re a core contributor and maintainer. Here’s how we ensure the chain’s success:

Reliable Storage Provision: As a leading storage provider for Walrus, we guarantee high availability and data redundancy across geographically dispersed nodes.

Performance SLAs for Mysten Labs: We commit to strict Service Level Agreements (SLAs), including 99.99% uptime and sub-second latency for critical operations.

Decentralized Network Health: Operate and maintain validator nodes to secure Walrus’s consensus while optimizing storage efficiency.

The Road Ahead: Scaling the Decentralized Cloud

Nami Cloud’s launch on Sui’s Walrus is the cornerstone of a bold, multi-phase vision to redefine cloud infrastructure for Web3. We’re not just iterating on existing solutions—we’re architecting a future where decentralized storage, compute, and governance converge to empower a new era of trustless, scalable applications. Here’s a deeper look at what’s coming:

Phase 1: Strengthening the Core

  • Walrus Network Optimization: As a core storage provider and maintainer for Sui’s Walrus, we will pioneer enhancements to the chain’s storage efficiency, including:
    • Sharding Support: Dynamically partition data across Walrus validators to handle exponential growth in storage demand.
    • Cross-Chain Data Lakes: Enable Walrus to act as a unified storage layer for assets and metadata from Ethereum, Solana, and other ecosystems, with atomic swaps via bridging protocols.
  • Nami Storage 2.0:
    • Cold Storage Tiering: Introduce cost-optimized archival storage powered by decentralized nodes, with retrieval times tailored for compliance and enterprise use cases.
    • Immutable Data Vaults: Enable WORM (Write Once, Read Many) compliance for regulated industries like healthcare and finance, with cryptographic proof of data integrity.

Phase 2: Decentralized Compute & Smart Infrastructure

  • Nami Compute: Extend the platform beyond storage to offer a full-stack decentralized runtime environment:
    • Serverless Functions: Deploy event-driven code (e.g., image resizing, AI inference) triggered by on-chain activity or storage events.
    • Smart Contract Integration: Allow dApps to interact directly with Nami Storage via programmable triggers (e.g., auto-delete files after an NFT expires).
  • Edge-AI Acceleration:
    • Partner with decentralized GPU networks to bring machine learning workflows to Nami’s edge nodes, enabling low-latency AI processing closer to end-users.
  • Energy-Evalidators:
    • Launch carbon-neutral validator nodes powered by renewable energy credits, aligning with global ESG standards for enterprises.

Phase 3: The Sovereign Cloud Ecosystem

  • Nami DAO Governance: Transition control of protocol upgrades, treasury allocations, and partnerships to a decentralized autonomous organization:
    • Stake-to-Vote: Token holders govern key decisions proportional to their stake, with quadratic voting to prevent centralization.
    • Developer Grants: Fund open-source tools, SDKs, and integrations that expand Nami’s ecosystem.
  • Hyper-Scalable Storage Mesh:
    • Build a peer-to-peer storage network where users can rent idle hard drive space globally, creating a truly decentralized "Airbnb for storage" economy.
    • Incentivize node operators with dynamic pricing models tied to real-time demand and location.
  • Enterprise Sovereignty Suite:
    • Offer hybrid deployment models for regulated industries, allowing private subnets to interoperate with public Nami Storage while maintaining GDPR/HIPAA compliance.
    • Launch Nami Key Vault: A decentralized secrets management system with MPC (Multi-Party Computation) for enterprise key storage.

Why This Matters

The road ahead isn’t just about technology—it’s about ownership. By decentralizing infrastructure, we’re democratizing access to the tools that shape the digital world. Imagine a future where:

  • Startups launch globally scaled apps without relying on AWS or Google Cloud.
  • Artists monetize content directly through storage-backed NFTs, with no platform fees.
  • Enterprises eliminate single points of failure while meeting strict compliance demands.

Join the Movement: Own Your Infrastructure

Nami Cloud is more than a platform—it’s a commitment to a future where infrastructure is decentralized, democratic, and designed for scale. Whether you’re:

- A developer tired of AWS bills and vendor lock-in,

- An enterprise seeking compliant, censorship-resistant storage,

- Or a validator looking to earn rewards while securing cutting-edge networks,

Nami Cloud provides the tools, performance, and vision to thrive in Web3.
