I never cared about data privacy until I learned what cloud companies actually do with your files. They scan everything for AI training, ads, compliance. You agreed to it in terms nobody reads.
Thats why @@Walrus 🦭/acc matters. Your files get encrypted before leaving your device. Storage nodes only see encrypted fragments, never your actual data. Only you control the keys. Thats real privacy built into the technology.
The $WAL token powers the network through staking and payments. Storage providers earn rewards for reliable service. The Sui blockchain keeps everything fast and affordable.
What sold me is the censorship resistance. No single entity can delete your files or shut you down. The data lives on a decentralized network forever. For creators and businesses, thats huge protection against platform risk.
Im gradually moving my important files to @walrusprotocol. The combination of privacy, security, and true ownership is what storage should be. Traditional cloud just cant compete with that.
