Walrus, and why it feels like real Web3 infrastructure to me 🦭
I usually talk about tokens, but @Walrus 🦭/acc pulled my attention in a different way. The more I looked into it, the more it felt like the kind of project Web3 will quietly rely on in the future.
Walrus is a decentralized storage network growing in the Sui ecosystem. For me, $WAL isn’t just a chart, it’s directly tied to how data is stored, protected, and kept accessible for apps. That’s real utility.
What I like most is how the network is built for resilience. Even if some nodes go down, data stays safe. Operators earn WAL by actually hosting and maintaining data, so the token is used through real work, not just speculation.
It’s also very builder-friendly. The tools are simple, integration isn’t complicated, and things like encryption control and batching show the team understands real developer needs.
As Web3 grows, data will matter more. AI needs memory. Apps need reliable records. Users need ownership of their data. Walrus fits naturally into that future.
Storage layers don’t get enough attention, but they’re essential. And Walrus is one of those projects I’m quietly keeping an eye on.
