Walrus exists because data should not disappear just because attention moves on. When apps slow down or users leave, old data often becomes hard to access. That is dangerous for trust. Walrus fixes this by making data availability the main job, not a side feature.
Data stored on Walrus is split, encrypted, and shared across many nodes. No single party controls it. Even if some nodes go offline, the data can still be recovered. This makes Walrus reliable over time, not just during hype cycles.
$WAL is used to reward nodes that keep data available quietly and consistently. This is why Walrus matters for long-term systems, not short-term trends.
