Have you ever run out of space on your phone because you have too many photos or games? Usually, you have to delete something or pay for extra space in the "Cloud." Well, a new project called Walrus is changing how the whole internet stores its "stuff."
How Does It Work? 🧩
Imagine you have a giant LEGO castle. Instead of keeping the whole castle in one house where it might get lost or broken, Walrus takes it apart into tiny bricks and gives one brick to a thousand different friends all over the world.
If one friend loses a brick, it doesn’t matter! Because of a special math trick called RedStuff, Walrus can put your castle back together perfectly as long as a few friends still have their pieces. It’s super safe and almost impossible to lose your data.
Why Is It Called "Walrus"? 🦭
Just like the animal, Walrus is built to handle the "big stuff." While other crypto projects are good at sending tiny text messages, Walrus is built for big things like:
High-definition videos 🎬
Big 3D games 🎮
AI Robots (which need to "read" massive amounts of data to learn)
What is the WAL Token For? 🪙
The WAL coin is like the "arcade token" for this system.
Buying Space: You use WAL to "rent" your spot in the digital backpack.
Rewards: People who help store the data (the friends holding the LEGO bricks) get paid in WAL for being helpful.
Voting: If you own WAL, you get to help decide how the Walrus world grows!
The Bottom Line
Walrus is building a way for the internet to remember everything without needing one big company (like Google or Apple) to controlled it. It’s making the internet fairer, cheaper, and much bigger!
