#Walrus didn’t come from a hype narrative.

It came from a problem people kept running into.

Blockchains were good at consensus, terrible at storing real data.

Storage networks existed, but they either copied files endlessly or broke down when nodes churned.

So Walrus was built from first principles:

assume the network is slow, messy, and adversarial and design anyway.

Instead of full replication, it introduced a smarter encoding model that lets data repair itself when parts go missing. Instead of trusting timing, it enforced storage with challenges that still work even when the network is delayed.

In short, Walrus exists because “good enough” storage wasn’t good enough anymore.

Not born from hype.

Born from friction.

And that usually makes stronger infrastructure. @Walrus 🦭/acc $WAL
