$WAL #walrus @Walrus 🦭/acc

Walrus is built for the part of Web3 teams struggle with which is storing big files. Instead of pushing images video datasets and app bundles to a single cloud they're stored as blobs across a decentralized network. Each blob is encoded into many smaller pieces so the network can lose many nodes and still rebuild the original data. Sui acts as the coordination layer so the system can record who owns a blob how long it should stay available and whether the storage service is active. WAL is used to pay for storage and to stake behind storage operators so they have incentives to keep data available. I'm interested in Walrus because it turns data availability into something apps can verify rather than assume which matters for games AI pipelines and any dApp that cannot afford broken links. Developers can renew storage reference blobs from smart contracts and build workflows where access and persistence follow onchain rules. They're aiming for censorship resistant storage with predictable costs and proof that a file is still there when users come back months later.
