A decentralized storage network requires carefully designed incentives to remain secure and sustainable. Walrus Protocol leverages its native $WAL token to reward storage providers for contributing resources and maintaining data availability. This economic model encourages long-term participation and network reliability.
Users benefit from transparent pricing and trust-minimized storage services, while governance mechanisms allow token holders to influence protocol development. This decentralized governance structure ensures that Walrus evolves according to community consensus rather than centralized decision-making.
By aligning incentives across all participants, Walrus Protocol builds a resilient ecosystem that supports the long-term needs of Web3 applications.
