#walrus $WAL I’m watching Walrus (WAL) because it’s trying to fix a quiet problem in crypto: we “own” assets on-chain, but the real files often sit on someone’s server and can disappear. Walrus stores big data off-chain across independent nodes, while Sui holds the control layer and proofs, so apps can verify a blob is actually available. It works by encoding files into small slivers (Red Stuff erasure coding), spreading them across the network, then anchoring a proof of availability on-chain. If adoption grows, it becomes a practical storage layer for media, NFTs, and AI datasets, and We’re seeing progress through metrics like total capacity vs used, node/operator count, retrieval success, and how decentralized WAL staking is. Risks are real too: complexity, competition, and dependency on Sui stability. Still, I like the direction: data that feels owned, not rented.@Walrus 🦭/acc
