With the growth and maturity of Web3, the future success and effectiveness of infrastructure protocols will start to rely on the overall quality and maturity of their ecosystems. Walrus is created with the purpose of creating an availability layer that supports scalable and verifiable data publication, and while its usefulness is significant, it is greatly amplified within an ecosystem. This is because developers using AI, games, and analytics applications need data to be handled well.
The emergence of the ecosystem around @Walrus 🦭/acc reflects a larger trend for more modular design for blockchain, with execution and commitment layers being separated. A more active use of data-intensive apps is what propels Walrus to being a key enabler rather than a backend technology. The use of $WAL illustrates how infrastructure tokens play a role in developing a network. #walrus
