@Walrus 🦭/acc assumes failure is the default. Most systems are built as if everything will just work—but Walrus is built for the real world, where nodes go offline, providers vanish, and networks get noisy.
Instead of treating these events as exceptions, Walrus designs around them. Its erasure coding and committee-based storage assume churn is normal. Most failures aren’t attacks—they’re just boring, everyday problems.
Walrus doesn’t promise perfection. It guarantees graceful degradation. That’s the difference between building real infrastructure and just demos.
