In this expanding landscape, the place of Web3 is parallel to that of blockchains. Walrus is constructed to handle this by offering decentralized, scalable, and verifiable data storage that fits into Web3's philosophy of trust above all else. Instead of storing data on centralized servers, Walrus provides a strong solution for developers to store and access it without giving up the spirit of transparency.
This makes Walrus particularly well-suited for NFTs, on-chain applications, and other data-intensive Web3 projects that require high data availability. In focusing on storage, Walrus occupies a key missing piece in the Web3 stack. Understanding $WAL's role helps frame why decentralized storage protocols are fast-becoming essential infrastructure for the next wave of Web3 apps.
