Walrus Protocol – Project Profile
Name: Walrus Protocol
Category: Decentralized Storage Infrastructure
Core Focus: Data Availability, Reliability, and Retrieval Guarantees
What Makes Walrus Different:
Walrus prioritizes availability-first storage, ensuring data can be accessed when needed, not just stored redundantly.
Key Features:
Availability-focused architecture
Cooperative storage provider participation
Designed for real-world, correlated network failures
Continuous verification of provider responsiveness
Retrieval guarantees over simple replication metrics
Problem It Solves:
Traditional decentralized storage systems focus on redundancy but fail to guarantee timely access during outages or congestion. Walrus solves this by embedding availability directly into the protocol.
