WAL as a Settlement Token for Data Availability
WAL isn’t just used to store data — it settles the trust behind it. On the @Walrus 🦭/acc network, every piece of data that is uploaded, accessed, or verified needs a settlement layer that makes sure everyone plays fair. That’s where WAL comes in. It acts as the economic glue that connects users, storage providers, and applications. When data is made available, WAL is used to pay, reward, and secure that process, ensuring reliability without relying on centralized platforms. The more data flows through Walrus, the more WAL is required to keep everything running smoothly. In this way, WAL becomes the backbone of data availability, turning digital storage into a transparent, trust-driven economy rather than just another cloud service.
