What feels increasingly clear about Walrus Protocol is that it’s built with the expectation of being relied upon. The architecture doesn’t assume ideal conditions it assumes long-lived data, uneven demand, and the need for consistent availability even when parts of the network fail.
As applications on Sui mature, storage becomes inseparable from trust. WAL supports this by aligning incentives toward reliability and long-term participation rather than short-term activity. That focus on endurance over excitement is often what allows infrastructure to remain relevant long after attention shifts elsewhere.
