Walrus (WAL) is often introduced as a token, but it makes more sense to view it as the economic engine behind a privacy-focused infrastructure layer. Most blockchain systems are good at recording transactions, but when it comes to secure and private interaction, the experience still feels incomplete. Walrus is designed around that missing piece: enabling private blockchain-based activity while supporting a wider ecosystem of decentralized applications. WAL becomes relevant in this design because it supports the protocol’s internal economy — allowing participation through staking, governance, and other network-level functions. In simple terms, the token isn’t there only for trading. It exists because a decentralized system needs incentives and coordination, and WAL plays that coordination role.
