Trust is expensive. Traditional systems rely on legal agreements, centralized oversight, and reputation. Walrus Protocol replaces these mechanisms with cryptography and incentives.
Instead of trusting a company to store data, users rely on mathematical guarantees and economic alignment. Storage providers act honestly because doing so is more profitable than cheating.
$WAL is central to this model. It aligns incentives across all participants, ensuring that network health directly correlates with individual benefit. This transforms storage from a service into a market governed by rules rather than promises.
In decentralized systems, economics is as important as code. Walrus treats both with equal seriousness.
