#walrus $WAL Privacy by Architecture, Not Just by Promise
Many protocols claim "private" storage, but Walrus designs it into its core architecture from the ground up. Client-side encryption is non-negotiable—files are encrypted on the user's device before being split into fragments. No single storage provider ever sees a complete, readable file. This is coupled with the inherent privacy of its erasure coding: each network node holds only unrecognizable shards of data.
This dual-layer approach means privacy isn't an add-on feature; it's a structural guarantee. Even under a theoretical network compromise, an attacker would gain nothing but encrypted gibberish. For applications handling sensitive information—from personal identity data to private enterprise documents—this provides a level of security that goes beyond policy promises. It offers mathematically-enforced confidentiality, making Walrus a viable solution for use cases where data sensitivity is paramount.
