Blockchains are great at handling transactions, but they struggle when it comes to large-scale data. Images, videos, game assets, AI models, and social content require powerful storage systems. Today, most of this data still lives on centralized servers, which contradicts the core idea of decentralization.
@Walrus 🦭/acc is addressing this problem by creating a decentralized data layer that focuses on reliability, scalability, and censorship resistance. Instead of trusting a single company or server, data is distributed across the Walrus network, making it harder to censor, manipulate, or shut down.
$WAL plays a key role in keeping this system alive. It incentivizes honest participation, rewards node operators, and ensures the long-term sustainability of the network. This creates a self-maintaining ecosystem rather than a centralized service.
If the future of Web3 is truly decentralized, then data must be decentralized too. Walrus is building that future quietly, but powerfully.
