Everyone calls data the new oil, but in Web3, it’s wild—prices swing all over the place unless you pin them down. That’s where Walrus steps in. They use fiat-pegged pricing, so when you pay in WAL, the system figures out the right amount on the spot to lock in a steady dollar value. You don’t have to sweat over token price swings, and nodes get paid out over time with streaming rewards. This setup gives projects real predictability, which is a big deal when you’re running at scale. Alkimi Exchange, for example, pushes through tens of millions of ad impressions every day using Walrus, and that keeps things tamper-proof. Cudis stores people’s wellness data safely, letting folks get personalized health insights without dumping everything into one risky central spot.

Right now, there are more than 100 nodes moving millions of data blobs around. Plus, Walrus burns a slice of payments and slaps on penalties, so the token supply actually shrinks over time. That’s how they’re aiming for long-term growth. They’ve already raised $140 million and built a modular system ready to branch out. By 2026, they’re planning to expand to Ethereum and Cosmos. The goal? Make data something you can actually rely on and program with, even in industries where the stakes are sky-high.
