#Walrus $WAL @Walrus 🦭/acc At its core, WAL serves as the primary currency for storage services. Users who want to store data on the Walrus network pay in WAL tokens. These payments are often made upfront and then distributed over time to storage nodes and stakers as rewards. This creates a sustainable economic loop: as more data is stored on-chain, the demand for WAL increases. It’s a vital mechanism that ensures storage providers are fairly compensated for maintaining the network's decentralized infrastructure.
