Storage becomes real when it can be audited.
It is not when a person describes the idea of decentralization that you first understand storage is a crypto issue. It is when a file that you have banked on silently vanishes and no one is held responsible. Walrus is constructed on another premise: availability is not supposed to be vibes. It should be provable.
Walrus Proof of Availability makes storage an onchain audit trail. The network gives availability a service testable, but not a promise. Assuming that model is good at scale, then @Walrus 🦭/acc is not so much a storage narrative as a backend that can be explained.
