Every blockchain transaction creates data. That data may be needed later for audits, disputes, or to prove ownership. If it becomes unavailable, users are forced to trust someone else’s copy. At that point, decentralization is gone. Walrus was built to prevent this. It does not compete with other chains on apps or speed. Its only role is to keep data accessible and verifiable over time. Instead of centralized storage, Walrus distributes encrypted data across many nodes so it can always be recovered without giving control to one party. $WAL powers this system by aligning incentives for long-term reliability.
