#walrus $WAL

WAL drives the Walrus Protocol, which is a decentralized platform for storing big “blobs” that include videos, images, and PDFs. It uses erasure coding and the Red Stuff algorithm, a proprietary technology, to ensure the safety of the stored data. Data stored here enjoys redundancy to ensure it is always available. It splits across nodes with a lean 4x replication rate. This is a lot cheaper than common systems that need 10x or more replication rate for redundancy.
