While competitors rely on simple replication, @Walrus 🦭/acc uses "Red Stuff"—a 2D erasure coding algorithm. This allows the network to reconstruct files even if 50% of storage nodes go offline. It is the highest level of data durability ever achieved in a permissionless system, and it’s all powered by the $WAL token.
Because Red Stuff is so efficient, #walrus can offer storage prices that are 80% lower than legacy decentralized options. In 2026, this cost advantage is attracting high-volume clients like media outlets and AI research firms who need to store terabytes of unstructured data without breaking the bank.
