Storage in the new Web3 space is no longer just a matter of file storage, but a programmable, rule based kind of storage, in which data is stored according to the logic and automation in-built into the network as a form of smart storage.
Walrus is programmable in defining storage rules, access permissions and data lifecycle policies, and thus storage can be considered code. That means that your decentralized applications (dApps) can automatically act based on data specifications, e.g. automatically update versions, automatically retrieve or automatically reward storage providers based on criteria.
It is a supported ecosystem on the token of the Wal $WAL that rewards the reputable conduct of storage and the network security of the network, therefore, ensuring the programmable rules can be programmed with predictability without network bottlenecks. Walrus can be used to make NFTs conditional, a data marketplace, or an automated backup that has a custom, safe and scalable foundation.
The programmable logic storage also enables the program developers to do more with the storage than simply storing data, they can organize the workflows and automate trust in a decentralized environment. Walrus is not merely a storage to anyone that cares about next-gen Web3 infrastructure, but it is a paradigm shift in its development.
