This is not a DEX (decentralized exchange) — there’s no native order book or liquidity pools in Walrus itself for token swapping..

🔁 How Traders Use WAL on Existing DEXes
Although Walrus doesn’t have its own DEX, you can trade or swap WAL tokens on Sui-ecosystem decentralized exchanges (DEXes) such as:
🟦 Cetus (DEX on Sui)
Cetus is a popular DEX built for the Sui ecosystem (an AMM similar to Uniswap), where users can swap tokens like SUI and WAL.

Walrus DEX? — What You Need to Know
As of now, Walrus itself is not a decentralized exchange (DEX). Walrus is a decentralized storage protocol built on the Sui blockchain — its core function is storing large data and powering decentralized apps, not directly exchanging tokens like a DEX does. �

Here’s the breakdown:.
@Walrus 🦭/acc
🔹 Walrus Protocol – Storage Focus
Walrus (WAL) is a decentralized data storage and availability network on Sui.
It’s designed for storing large binary files (videos, images, datasets) across distributed nodes.
WAL tokens are used to pay for storage, secure the network via staking, and participate in governance

If You Also Meant Metadata in Data Availability or Settlement
Dusk’s DuskDS layer (Data & Settlement) is responsible for storing and making available all data that nodes need to verify and reconstruct the blockchain state — but this is a broader blockchain concept, not contract metadata specifically. It ensures that transaction and block data remain verifiable and accessible. �

DOCUMENTATION +1
If you meant metadata for something specific — like NFT metadata on Dusk, or how Dusk stores information about tokenized securities — let me know and I can explain that too!

Smart Contract Metadata
In the Dusk Piecrust VM (Dusk’s execution engine for smart contracts):
Certain values associated with a contract—such as ownership data or module identifiers—are stored as immutable metadata.
This contract metadata is managed by the VM and remains unchanged for the lifetime of the contract once deployed.
Examples might include:

@Dusk
Who owns the contract
Unique IDs related to the contract
Static parameters that define the contract’s behavior or identity
This collection of such attributes comprises the metadata context for each contract. �

In blockchains, metadata often refers to structured information that describes attributes of:
Smart contracts
Transactions

@Dusk
Sessions or blocks
Contract ownership and environment context
…but not necessarily the actual content/value moved in the transaction. It’s extra contextual information used by the chain or by applications. �

Metadata in the Dusk Network Context
Dusk documentation and development references suggest that metadata exists mainly at the smart-contract and execution engine level, particularly within the virtual machine (VM) and contract frameworks:

Here’s an explanation of “metadata” in the context of the Dusk blockchain — and what it typically refers to in blockchains like Dusk:

🧠 What Metadata Means (General Concept)
Metadata literally means “data about data” — that is, information that describes other pieces of data rather than the data itself. For example, in a photo file, metadata might include the timestamp, camera model, and image size, while the picture content is the actual data. �
