The WAL token has been designed as a versatile tool within the Walrus Finance ecosystem. It is not only used for payment operations, but also actively participates in staking mechanisms, validator selection processes, and governance voting. This multifaceted use makes the token a strategic asset for both the technical operation of the system and the creation of economic value. In Walrus's vision of a decentralized data marketplace, the WAL token economically connects users consuming services with providers within the same network.

The WAL token serves as the cornerstone of this system. The protocol, by offering an alternative to traditional cloud storage systems, establishes its own economy by requiring service fees to be paid in WAL and rewarding validators through these tokens. This approach is not only a technical innovation but also an economic challenge to the market of data dominated by centralized providers. The DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization) structure of the protocol and community governance stand out as fundamental elements of this vision.
