Traditional monitoring systems assume a trusted backend. Metrics are meaningful because the operator is accountable. In decentralized storage, accountability is distributed, and trust is diffuse.
@Walrus 🦭/acc attempts to resolve this by enabling observability that does not rely on a single data source. On-chain events define what should be happening. Proofs define what is happening. Verifiable queries connect the two.
This approach challenges the norm of crypto analytics. Instead of consuming charts passively, users can interrogate data. Instead of believing dashboards, they can verify claims.
This is especially relevant for storage, where failures are often off-chain and invisible until it is too late. Unlike DeFi, where transactions are inherently observable, storage requires deliberate instrumentation to expose its behavior.
Walrus treats this exposure as a first-class requirement.$WAL #walrus
