Walrus is focused on what really matters in decentralized storage: long-term trust. Instead of assuming nodes behave forever, data is cryptographically verified, continuously checked, and repaired when needed. Governance isn’t cosmetic—Walrus DAO actively tunes integrity rules, redundancy, and costs using real network data. With smart erasure coding and community-led decisions, Walrus is building storage meant to survive years, not hype cycles.
