Walrus (WAL) is a decentralized storage and data infrastructure protocol built on the Sui blockchain. Unlike traditional cloud services, Walrus lets users and developers distribute, verify, and monetize large amounts of data including media files, AI datasets, and app content across a decentralized network of storage nodes, making data secure, censorship-resistant, and cost-efficient.

At its core, Walrus uses an advanced erasure-coding system that breaks large files into fragments (“slivers”) and stores them across multiple nodes. This means the network can reconstruct data even if many nodes go offline, while keeping storage costs far lower than some older decentralized solutions.

The WAL token plays several key roles within the ecosystem: it is used to pay for storage, stake for network security, and participate in governance decisions that shape the protocol’s development. WAL holders can also earn rewards by delegating tokens to storage node operators.#walrus @Walrus 🦭/acc $WAL
