To be honest, I've been coding for 3 years and have seen too many projects shout 'decentralization.'
The result must either not be ridiculously slow or ridiculously complex.
Until I started experimenting on @walrusprotocol.
I made a small dApp and want to upload encrypted user data.
Using traditional methods involves servers, signature verification, and database storage.
At Walrus? Three lines of code to get it done:
Upload, shard, encrypt, and automate.
$WAL as an incentive token ensures nodes are online and data is secure.
The black technology behind this is erasure coding.
Official data says its redundancy rate is 50% less than Filecoin.
But the recovery rate still reaches 99.999%.
This means performance doubles and security remains intact.
Moreover, Sui's parallel execution model makes data uploads faster.
What surprised me the most was the interface experience.
Walrus's API is smoother than AWS.
You can even choose the 'privacy level': public, partially verifiable, completely private.
For the first time, I feel that Web3 is not just an ideal, but practical.
I am currently writing a 'privacy notes' application,
All notes go directly to Walrus, without going through servers.
This means I can't even peek at the user's content myself.
This is the future - a free world where even developers are 'constrained'.
Someone asked me why I am so optimistic about $WAL.
I said, because it replaces 'human trust' with 'technological trust'.
That feeling is like you can finally rely on yourself, not on the company.
