Traditional cloud storage offers convenience and speed, but it comes with trade-offs that conflict with Web3 principles. Centralized providers control access, pricing, and availability.
For Web3 applications, this creates multiple risks:
Single points of failure
Potential censorship
Lack of verifiable data integrity
@Walrus 🦭/acc Protocol offers a fundamentally different model. Data is distributed, cryptographically verifiable, and designed to align with decentralized systems rather than replace them.
Unlike centralized storage, Walrus does not require users to trust a single authority. Storage becomes part of the trustless architecture that Web3 promises.
As developers and users become more aware of infrastructure risks, decentralized storage will move from a “nice to have” feature to a necessity. Walrus represents this shift clearly.
