walrus makes decentralization feel more complete to me.
i keep noticing that a lot of apps call themselves decentralized, but then all their images, videos, and files still sit on a regular cloud server. that is usually where decentralization quietly falls apart. walrus tries to fix that by offering decentralized storage for large data. it is built to handle big objects that are too heavy to store directly on chain. if apps use walrus for content, they rely less on a single company and become harder to shut down or disrupt. that is the upside i see. the risk is very real though. storage is hard to do well. if file access gets slow or prices creep up, developers will not stay. walrus does not need hype to succeed. it needs steady performance, easy integration, and real usage in everyday apps.
