I’m excited about Walrus because they’re solving a problem that doesn’t get enough attention. Most blockchains are great at moving money but not at storing large files. Videos, datasets, and apps often rely on centralized systems that take away privacy and control.
Walrus is designed to change that. They’re using a decentralized network where files are broken into pieces and spread across many independent computers. Even if some computers go offline, the system can rebuild the file perfectly. I’m impressed by how they combine erasure coding with blockchain verification, making every file secure, verifiable, and decentralized.
The WAL token powers the ecosystem. People pay WAL to store and access files, and providers stake WAL to maintain the network. Governance is community-driven, so token holders can influence upgrades and rules.
I’m seeing this as more than storage. It’s a foundation for decentralized apps, NFTs, AI datasets, and web services. They’re creating a future where data is private, safe, and fully under users’ control. It’s a thoughtful, practical step toward a truly decentralized digital world.
