When it comes to decentralized storage, the comparison with traditional cloud quickly breaks down. The cloud always implies a control center, the possibility of intervention, and a single responsible party. @Walrus 🦭/acc is created for a different model where data must remain accessible even without a single operator.

Walrus distributes information among independent participants in the network, reducing the risks of failure and censorship. Data is stored closer to applications, users, and AI agents, enhancing the resilience of the system and making it practical for real-world use. No single party can unilaterally change the rules or restrict access.

The network's economy is built around $WAL , which links the use of storage to the incentives of participants. The more actively data is stored and used, the greater the value of the system becomes. That is why #Walrus should be viewed as an infrastructure solution rather than a short-term token story.
