#walrus $WAL Walrus (WAL) is the native token of the Walrus Protocol, a decentralized data storage network built on the Sui blockchain.

Its main goal is to store large files (videos, images, AI data, NFTs, game assets) in a cheap, fast, and decentralized way.

Unlike Bitcoin or Ethereum (which are mainly for payments and smart contracts), Walrus focuses on storage.

⚙️ How Walrus Protocol Works (Simple)

• Files are broken into small encrypted pieces

• These pieces are stored across many independent nodes

• Even if some nodes go offline, data remains safe

• Storage is cheaper than traditional blockchains

This makes Walrus ideal for:

• Web3 apps

• AI & machine learning data

• NFT metadata

• Gaming assets

• Decentralized websites
