Walrus Solves the Problem Blockchains Don’t Like to Admit
Most blockchains worry about how much data they can store.
@Walrus 🦭/acc worries about something more important: whether that data can still be retrieved when it’s needed.
In decentralized systems, data disappears all the time. Nodes go offline. Providers drop files. Incentives drift. Yet rollups, AI agents, bridges, and DeFi all depend on historical data to stay honest.
If that data isn’t available, the system becomes unverifiable.
Walrus treats availability as a cryptographic guarantee, not a best-effort service. Data is split, encoded, and distributed so that even if many nodes fail, the full dataset can always be reconstructed and proven.
This turns data into something chains can actually rely on.
Storage just means “it was written once.”
Availability means “it can always be checked.”
That difference is what makes Walrus infrastructure instead of just another storage network.
