Why Data Availability Breaks Without Enforcement — @Walrus 🦭/acc Approach
Data availability rarely fails all at once. It erodes quietly. Nodes disconnect, incentives weaken, and over time the data that applications depend on becomes incomplete or unverifiable.
Most storage systems assume availability as a static condition. Walrus treats it as something that must be actively enforced.
@Walrus 🦭/acc is built on the idea that storage without accountability eventually breaks. Instead of trusting nodes to behave, Walrus requires them to continuously prove that data is still available.
When a node goes offline, Walrus does not rely on hope or redundancy alone. The system detects the failure, redistributes responsibility, and maintains access without human intervention.
@Walrus 🦭/acc approach reframes storage as a living system. Data stays available not because it was stored once, but because the network is designed to keep it alive over time.
