Walrus and the Problem Most Storage Networks Ignore
Most decentralized storage systems talk about uploads and downloads. Walrus focuses on recovery. In real networks, nodes fail constantly. If recovery requires reconstructing full files, costs silently explode over time. Walrus uses a two dimensional erasure coding system that allows nodes to repair only what they lose. This keeps bandwidth usage proportional to actual damage, not total data size. It’s a subtle shift, but one that fundamentally changes long-term sustainability.
