@Walrus 🦭/acc Walrus treats payments as coordination, not just fees. The network is fully decentralized: independent storage nodes compete on price and capacity, but users shouldn’t have to negotiate with anyone. So Walrus aggregates node offers into a single, predictable storage schedule that feels like one service. Nodes commit only what they can truly support—more capacity can mean more revenue, but failure brings penalties, pushing honest, realistic promises. Pricing covers both storage and writes: writes cost extra because encoding, distributing slivers, collecting acknowledgements, and proving availability burn bandwidth and compute. Users pay once, and rewards flow to nodes based on real contribution—reliability gets paid, unreliability becomes expensive. $WAL #Walrus @Walrus 🦭/acc
