Web3 has optimized relentlessly for speed, throughput, and composability. Transactions finalize faster, rollups scale execution, and DeFi protocols react in milliseconds. Yet something fundamental is missing: memory. Most blockchains treat history as disposable once state updates. This limits how intelligent decentralized systems can become.
@walrusprotocol addresses this gap by introducing a durable economic memory layer. Instead of resetting context every block, protocols can store and reason over historical economic data on-chain. This enables smarter risk assessment, adaptive incentives, and governance rooted in real outcomes. Infrastructure like this isn’t loud, but it’s transformative. As Web3 matures, projects like $WAL will define how decentralized systems truly evolve over time. #walrus
