#Walrus $WAL
Ever wonder how Walrus actually guarantees your data stays available long term? It’s all in the Proofs of Availability. Nodes that store the sharded blobs have to regularly submit cryptographic proofs showing they still hold their pieces and can serve them fast. Miss a few checks and they get their staked $WAL slashed, so there’s real skin in the game. This keeps bad actors honest and makes the whole network super resilient, even if some nodes go down. I love how simple yet powerful this incentive layer is. Makes me trust the storage way more for important stuff like game assets or AI models.
