Walrus (WAL) Is the Kind of Project You Understand After You Build Something
If you’ve never built an app, decentralized storage might sound like a side feature. But builders know the truth storage decides whether an app feels real or fragile. You can have the best smart contracts in the world, but if your files disappear, your app is basically broken. That’s why Walrus matters.
WAL is the native token of the Walrus protocol, a system designed for secure and private blockchain interactions while also providing decentralized, privacy-preserving storage for large files. It runs in the Sui ecosystem and uses blob storage to handle heavy data efficiently things like NFT media, app content, datasets and user records. Then it uses erasure coding to split those files into pieces and spread them across the network so data remains recoverable even if some nodes go offline.
WAL ties into governance and staking which keeps the network decentralized and incentivizes storage providers to stay reliable. It’s not a “loud” project it’s a practical one.
