I’m thinking about Walrus as infrastructure, not a flashy DeFi product. It’s built on Sui and focuses on storing large data in a decentralized way. Instead of putting files on one server, Walrus turns them into blobs, splits them using erasure coding, and distributes them across many nodes. If some parts go offline, the data can still be recovered.
WAL is the token that keeps the system running. It’s used for storage payments and can also be tied to staking and governance so they’re aligning incentives between users and operators.
The point of Walrus isn’t speculation. It’s about giving apps and teams a reliable place to store big files without trusting a single company. Privacy can be handled at the app level by encrypting data before upload. I’m following it because real decentralized apps need storage that actually works.
