Swarm Network Selects Walrus to Power Verifiable AI on Rollup.News
Palo Alto, CA, July 15th, 2025, Chainwire A new integration brings decentralized, programmable storage to Swarm's AI coordination layer on Sui Swarm Network, the decentralized multi-agent protocol behind has integrated Walrus, the decentralized data layer built on Sui, to power verifiable AI at scale. 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 highlighting Walrus's commitment to serving AI builders and its expanding role in enabling secure, scalable infrastructure for next-generation AI applications.

Built on Sui, apps on Walrus can manage stored on- and offchain data via Move-based smart contracts. Originally developed by Web3 infrastructure builders Mysten Labs, Walrus represents an evolution in decentralized data storage. Contact
