The Storage Wars: Why Walrus (WAL) is Outpacing Filecoin and Arweave in 2026
In the early days of Web3, we had Filecoin for archives and Arweave for "forever" storage. But the modern internet moves too fast for "cold" storage. Enter @Walrus 🦭/acc .
Unlike its predecessors, #Walrus functions like a high-speed CDN. You don't need to wait minutes to retrieve a file; it’s nearly instantaneous.
* vs. Filecoin: Walrus offers millisecond retrieval speeds, making it usable for real-time apps, not just backups.
* vs. Arweave: Walrus provides flexible, duration-based pricing. Why pay for 200 years of storage for a social media post that only needs to live for two?
By lowering the cost and increasing the speed, $WAL has become the "Hot Storage" layer the industry has been begging for. The "dinosaurs" are great for history, but Walrus is built for the active internet.
