#walrus$WAL Walrus (WAL) is one of those projects that makes me think about what crypto is really for. Instead of chasing hype, they’re building decentralized storage for large “blob” data like videos, images, app files, and datasets, using Sui as the coordination layer. The idea is simple: break data into encoded pieces, spread it across many independent nodes, and make it retrievable even if some nodes go offline. That’s powerful because it reduces dependence on centralized servers and helps apps keep data available in a more censorship-resistant way. WAL is used for storage payments and staking incentives, so reliability is rewarded over time. I’m watching network growth, node participation, real usage, and how well retrieval and repairs perform under stress. If they execute, we’re seeing a step toward true Web3 infrastructure.
