Accountability is hard in decentralized systems. There’s no central operator to audit behavior, and participants can come and go freely. Without accountability, decentralization turns into chaos.
Walrus solves this by making accountability protocol-native. Storage nodes are constantly checked through Proof of Availability. Performance is observable. Failure is detectable. Consequences are automatic.
In my view, this is what separates experimental storage from production-grade infrastructure. Accountability doesn’t rely on trust or coordination — it’s enforced by the system itself. $WAL #walrus
