#Web3 applications aim to be decentralized, transparent, and user-owned. However, many of these applications still rely on centralized cloud services to store data such as images, files, metadata, and user content.
This creates a contradiction. While the application logic runs on blockchain, the data itself often depends on a single provider. If that provider fails or restricts access, the application can break.
@Walrus 🦭/acc Protocol addresses this issue by offering decentralized storage that aligns with Web3 principles. Instead of storing data in one place, information is distributed across the network, reducing single points of failure.
For developers and users, this means stronger reliability. Data remains accessible even if part of the network goes offline. Ownership also improves, as no single entity controls access to stored content.
As Web3 applications grow in complexity, decentralized storage becomes a core requirement rather than an optional feature. Walrus focuses on building this foundation.
