Walrus is designed to solve a quiet but serious problem in crypto.
Most decentralized apps still rely on centralized storage.
If that storage fails, the app loses its memory.
Walrus separates verification from storage so this does not happen.
When data is added to Walrus, it is broken into pieces and encoded.
These pieces are stored across many independent providers.
Even if some nodes go offline, the data can still be recovered.
I’m seeing a system that assumes failure and stays alive anyway.
The blockchain is used only to track references, ownership, and integrity.
It does not store the files themselves.
This design keeps storage affordable while making data verifiable and censorship resistant.
WAL is used to pay for storage, reward providers, and govern the system.
Long term, they’re aiming to become invisible infrastructure.
Apps should stop worrying about where their data lives.
If Walrus succeeds, data ownership becomes real, durable, and independent of any single platform.
