@Walrus 🦭/acc exposes a blind spot in how Web3 evaluates infrastructure.
Most decentralized storage is judged by how long data can survive. Walrus is judged by how well data performs while the network is constantly changing. That distinction matters for real applications, especially on high-throughput environments like Sui where performance degradation is failure.
This reframes the developer question. It’s no longer “Can the data exist forever?” but “Can the app keep functioning as conditions change?” Walrus is built for the second problem, which most storage protocols never seriously address.
$WAL derives value from this reality. Usage is ongoing, not one-off, and incentives reward sustained participation rather than static uploads.
Walrus doesn’t compete in the archival category. It competes where applications actually live.
