Decentralization often comes at the cost of consistency. Walrus addresses this tension by combining decentralized participation with strict, protocol-level performance checks. Nodes remain independent, but their behavior is continuously measured through challenges and availability proofs.
Predictability emerges from accountability. Nodes that perform well are rewarded, while those that fail to meet commitments face reduced rewards or penalties. This allows the network to remain decentralized without becoming unreliable. Instead of trusting nodes blindly, Walrus enforces behavior through transparent rules and incentives.@Walrus 🦭/acc #walrus $WAL
