@Walrus 🦭/acc Makes Storage Flexible Instead of Rigid
Traditional chains rely on full replication. Every validator must store the same data, creating redundancy without real resiliency. This approach becomes unsustainable as data-heavy dApps emerge.
Walrus replaces this with erasure-coded blob storage. Data is broken into fragments and stored across many nodes. As long as a threshold of fragments exists, the data can always be reconstructed. The network becomes elastic, scaling up or down smoothly based on real demand. Costs drop, durability rises, and developers get a storage layer designed for long-term growth instead of temporary fixes.
