Key Use Cases for the WAL Token
The WAL token is not just for speculation; it has deep utility within its own network:
1. Storage Payments: If you want to store a "blob" of data (like an NFT image or an AI training set), you pay the fees in WAL.
2. Staking: Node operators must stake WAL to participate. Regular holders can delegate their WAL to these nodes to help secure the data and earn a portion of the rewards.
3. Governance: WAL holders can vote on protocol parameters, such as the cost of storage or how rewards are distributed.
4. AI Economy: Because Walrus is extremely fast at retrieving data, it is being used to store massive datasets for decentralized AI models that need to verify their training data is untampered.
