Web3 promises trustless systems, censorship resistance, and user ownership. However, many decentralized applications still depend on centralized storage providers for their data. This creates a hidden weakness: even if transactions are decentralized, the application itself can be censored, limited, or disrupted through its data layer.
Walrus approaches this issue by focusing on decentralized storage built for scale. Through @Walrus 🦭/acc , the goal is to support large datasets required by modern Web3 use cases such as gaming, NFTs, social platforms, and AI-driven applications. Instead of treating storage as an afterthought, Walrus places it at the core of the infrastructure.
The $WAL token helps align incentives within the network, encouraging participation while maintaining long-term sustainability. As Web3 continues to evolve, data requirements will only increase, making reliable and scalable storage solutions essential.
In my opinion, projects that address these foundational challenges will quietly shape the future of Web3. Decentralized storage is one of the missing pieces, and #Walrus is positioning itself as part of that solution.
