Walrus Protocol is designed around a simple reality: failures happen, and infrastructure must plan for them. Walrus uses erasure coding to split data across the network, ensuring files remain recoverable even when some nodes go offline. Instead of assuming perfect conditions, the system is built to tolerate partial failure by design.
This focus on resilience reflects how mature infrastructure is created. Rather than optimizing only for peak performance, Walrus prioritizes recovery and reliability at the base layer. For long-term decentralized storage, systems that degrade gracefully are often more valuable than those that work flawlessly until they suddenly don’t.
