Walrus Is Built for Data Heavy Use Cases, Not Just Token Transfers
Token transfers are lightweight. Real apps are not. A serious dApp needs storage for files, media, datasets, and evolving application state. Walrus is designed around that reality. WAL is the native token used inside the Walrus protocol, which supports private transactions and secure blockchain interactions, but also focuses on decentralized, privacy-preserving storage. Running on Sui, Walrus uses blob storage to store large unstructured data efficiently and erasure coding to distribute data across multiple nodes so it remains recoverable even when some fail. That design is meant to deliver cost efficient, censorship-resistant storage as an alternative to centralized cloud solutions. WAL plays its role by supporting staking and governance, aligning participants so the network keeps providing reliable storage. If you’re looking for “infrastructure utility,” Walrus is easier to respect than most pure narrative tokens.
