The dream of a fully decentralized internet is becoming a reality through "Walrus Sites." Most "decentralized" apps today are still hosted on centralized servers. If those servers go down, the "decentralized" app disappears. @walrusprotocolchanges this by allowing developers to host entire websites—both front-end and back-end—directly on the storage layer. These are known as Walrus Sites.
Because #walrus integrates with naming services, these sites are human-readable and fully censorship-resistant. You can’t "de-platform" a Walrus Site because the data is spread across hundreds of independent nodes. This is vital for social media platforms, news organizations, and DeFi protocols that need to ensure their interface is always accessible to their users. The $WAL token is used to "rent" the storage space for these sites, ensuring they stay live as long as the community supports them.
What makes this truly powerful is the ability to tie a website to an NFT or a DAO treasury. A community could collectively own a website, and the storage fees could be paid automatically from a smart contract holding $WAL . This shifts the power away from giant corporations and gives it back to the creators and their fans. As more projects move their front-ends to @@Walrus 🦭/acc , we will see the emergence of a "Permanent Web" that is owned by no one and accessible to everyone.
