A lot of people think the hardest part of Web3 is the blockchain itself, but storage and data availability are just as important. If decentralized apps want to compete with normal Web2 products, they need a way to store, retrieve, and manage data in a way that’s reliable, affordable, and built for scale. That’s one reason I’ve been paying attention to @Walrus 🦭/acc .
Walrus is interesting because it focuses on the part many users never see, the data layer. But this layer decides whether an app feels smooth or frustrating. NFTs, gaming assets, social content, and even app files all rely on storage that won’t break, disappear, or become too expensive when usage grows. When storage is weak, the “decentralized” experience quickly turns into broken links, missing content, or heavy dependence on centralized servers.
What I like about the Walrus direction is that it feels practical. Better storage infrastructure can unlock better products, and better products bring real users. That’s how ecosystems grow in a sustainable way. If more builders choose Walrus as their data backbone, the demand for the network and the role of $WAL L could naturally expand through real usage instead of short term hype.
I’m excited to see what gets built as adoption increases and more teams start using this kind of infrastructure. #walrus
