As Web3 matures, the biggest bottleneck is no longer transactions—it’s data. Blockchains are efficient for value transfer, but they struggle with storing large datasets. This is where Walrus steps in. @Walrus 🦭/acc is developing a decentralized data storage protocol on the Sui blockchain that allows applications to store and retrieve large “blobs” of data without relying on centralized cloud providers.
What makes Walrus stand out is its use of erasure coding, which spreads data across the network efficiently instead of full duplication. This reduces costs while keeping data resilient and censorship-resistant. The $WAL token aligns incentives across the ecosystem by powering staking, governance, and usage fees. As more dApps, AI platforms, and NFT ecosystems require reliable data availability, infrastructure-focused protocols like Walrus may become increasingly important. #Walrus #MarketRebound
