Walrus is a storage system designed for environments where trust is not assumed. Many of the most critical data use cases involve multiple parties with differing incentives, and Walrus is built specifically for that reality.
Rather than optimizing for a single application, Walrus focuses on serving many stakeholders fairly through a shared, neutral storage layer with verifiable integrity and strong availability guarantees.
This enables cooperation without requiring agreement on governance, ownership, or incentives.
Supported by $WAL, the network aligns operators, users, and applications around a common goal: keeping data accessible and secure over time.
Walrus functions less like traditional cloud hosting and more like public infrastructure open, resilient, and built for long-term coordination.
