Walrus uses erasure coding to split files into fragments distributed across multiple nodes, with no single operator having access to complete files. Optional encryption adds another layer of security for sensitive data.
WAL token is used for storage payments, node operator rewards, governance voting, and network staking. Token holders can earn passive income by delegating to reliable node operators.
Walrus differentiates itself through its Sui blockchain integration, optimized large file handling, competitive pricing model, and advanced erasure coding for reliability.
Benefits include cost efficiency compared to centralized alternatives, improved reliability through distributed storage, censorship resistance, and the ability to earn WAL tokens by participating in the network as a node operator.
