@Walrus 🦭/acc Privacy is having a quiet conversation; verifiability is letting everyone check the receipt. Walrus has been getting attention lately because more teams want both at once: keep user interactions off-chain, but still prove the data was properly stored and can be retrieved. That tension is sharper now that rollups, AI workflows, and “blob-style” data publishing are pushing bigger chunks of information around.
What I find compelling is the split between evidence and content. Walrus makes custody verifiable without making data omnipresent: it writes a public on-chain certificate on Sui while keeping the payload off-chain and controlled. Erasure coding is the “stop making 10 full copies” upgrade—it spreads the data efficiently so you get durability without the waste. That’s what makes the balance work: privacy as the default, with proof on tap when audits or disputes show up.
