In autonomous ecosystems, not all actors are equal. Some are temporary, others persistent, and a few carry heavy responsibility. Treating them all the same is a recipe for risk. Walrus introduces a critical tool for safety: a layered identity architecture with hard limits. Each layer—from transient guest to core component—operates within strict, unforgeable boundaries. This isn't about restriction for its own sake, but about creating the preconditions for trust. By ensuring a temporary actor can never accumulate undue power and a critical component must meet strict expectations, Walrus enforces a predictable order. This consistent, quiet enforcement is what allows micro-actions—the tiny, constant exchanges of data and value—to flow at scale without human oversight. Safety emerges from structured identity, enabling true operational freedom. #walrus @Walrus 🦭/acc $WAL #walrus
