I’ve been using Walrus for a handful of small projects and wanted to share a grounded take @Walrus 🦭/acc is primarily a payment/incentive token for storing data on the Walrus network, and the payment model is designed so the $WAL you pay is distributed over time to nodes and stakers rather than being burned at upload. In practice that means when you buy storage you’re buying a defined availability window and compensating the infra providers across that period helpful if you care about predictable storage economics rather than one-off token volatility. From a UX angle, the onboarding for simple uploads is getting easier web wallets + light tooling handled the basics quickly, and community threads were more helpful than marketing posts when I hit edge cases. If you’re thinking about storage for datasets or artifacts, try a tiny paid upload first to see how retrieval and availability behave before committing larger files. #walrus
