Incentives Are What Keep the Network Honest

Performance doesn’t improve by accident, it improves when incentives are designed properly. Walrus links rewards directly to measurable storage performance. Providers earn $WAL over time based on reliability, not just participation. @Walrus 🦭/acc continues refining this model so good behavior is rewarded and weak performance is penalized. This alignment matters because storage networks don’t get second chances when data disappears. #Walrus
