Most Web3 discussions focus on how data is stored, but far fewer address how data ages, degrades, and accumulates cost over time. @Walrus 🦭/acc approaches storage with an implicit understanding of data lifecycle management. Data is not static; it requires maintenance, verification, and economic justification as long as it exists. By integrating $WAL into this lifecycle, Walrus creates a system where keeping data alive has an explicit cost and responsibility. This discourages wasteful storage while reinforcing reliability, a balance that many decentralized systems fail to achieve.
