Walrus Protocol represents a shift in how Web3 infrastructure is designed. As decentralized applications become more complex, the limitations of existing data systems become increasingly visible. Walrus was created to address this gap by focusing entirely on decentralized data availability and storage.
Rather than forcing blockchains to handle large datasets, Walrus introduces a dedicated data layer. This separation improves efficiency while preserving decentralization. Applications can scale without overwhelming execution layers.
Walrus is especially relevant for data-heavy use cases such as DeFi platforms, gaming, NFTs, and decentralized social networks. These applications require constant access to reliable data, something traditional blockchains struggle to provide.
The $WAL token supports the operational side of the network by incentivizing participation and maintenance. Its purpose is tied to usage rather than speculation.
By prioritizing fundamentals, Walrus Protocol aims to become a long-term backbone for Web3 infrastructure.
