#walrus$WAL Walrus is redefining what storage means in crypto markets. Instead of treating data as a passive cost, it aligns storage with DeFi’s core principle: incentives over trust. Availability is enforced by economic guarantees, not promises. Nodes stake value, uptime becomes collateral, and data persistence starts behaving like liquidity. For DeFi protocols, this changes everything. Storage is no longer a backend detail; it’s a risk-managed, yield-like primitive that can be priced, locked, and composed. As on-chain activity grows more data-intensive, trustless storage becomes unavoidable. Markets often price narratives late—but infrastructure aligned with DeFi incentives tends to reprice fast once adoption hardens.
