@Walrus 🦭/acc #walrus does not attempt to create a new layer of consensus. High-performance state machine replication, a collection of protocols designed for quick, reliable coordination in Byzantine environments, is its mainstay. This is important since storage involves continuous writes, reads, and repairs across numerous nodes rather than sporadic finance. Without making performance the limiting constraint, SMR keeps all validators in sync with the same order of storage actions. Walrus can manage blob storage at scale while maintaining decentralization guarantees by implementing more recent concepts for effective finality and replication. Users perceive the outcome as straightforward: real-time apps don't pause while awaiting approval, and confirmations come through fast.$WAL
