I have always felt that privacy is not some extra feature in storage systems. It is a basic requirement when you deal with real information. Public data is fine for plenty of situations, but it definitely does not fit everything. Some apps handle things that simply cannot sit out in the open without causing problems. Walrus seems to understand that, and I like that it treats privacy as part of the design instead of an afterthought.
That does not mean everything is locked away forever. It just means you have control over who can access what. And honestly, that makes a huge difference for any app that deals with sensitive data, regulated activity, or anything involving user trust. When a storage system ignores privacy, it limits what developers can even build on top of it.
Walrus leans into those realities instead of pretending the world runs on public data alone. That is what makes it stand out to me.
