Walrus inconsistency proofs prevent serving corrupted slivers as “valid reads”

Walrus tries to make “valid reads” harder to fake by pairing every returned data piece with a proof that the piece matches what was originally committed. The network splits large blobs into many small slivers, stores them across operators, and makes clients verify replies instead of trusting a single node. If a node serves a corrupted sliver, an inconsistency proof can be produced and shared so other clients reject it and the protocol can penalize the operator.It’s like a checksum receipt that proves the shop gave you the wrong item.fees for storing/retrieving, staking for storage operators, governance for rules and tuning.

I still don’t know how cleanly this works when clients skip verification to save time.
