#walrus $WAL
Static storage networks fail because they rely on yesterday’s incentives to protect today’s data. A node that was honest when it joined may not stay honest when data becomes valuable. Walrus fixes this by tying storage to ongoing economic commitment. Nodes must keep staking WAL and proving they hold data every epoch or they lose rewards and collateral. Storage becomes a continuous contract, not a one-time deal. This makes long-term attacks expensive and reliability profitable. As data and value grow, so does the security backing it.
That is why Walrus can support persistent, high-value data in a way static networks never can.
