Press3

Press3 is a decentralized CMS built on Sui with Walrus storage. The project contains three collaborative workspaces:

• contract/ – Sui Move package managing page ownership, Walrus blob references, editor permissions, and events.
• frontend/ – Vite + React application serving as both public content renderer and admin backoffice editor.
• cli/ – Bun-based tooling for contract deployment, Walrus publishing, page management, and batch operations.

See demo @ youtube.
