‎At the heart of @Walrus 🦭/acc lies the $WAL token, a multifaceted asset designed to ensure the network’s longevity and security. As #Walrus moves into its primary growth phase in 2026, the utility of $WAL has expanded beyond simple storage payments. It now serves three primary functions:

‎ Storage Resource Allocation: Users lock $WAL to secure storage space, creating a direct link between token demand and network usage.

‎ Security through Staking: The protocol uses a Delegated Proof of Stake (dPoS) mechanism. Token holders can delegate their $wal to storage nodes, earning a share of the rewards while securing the network against Byzantine faults.

‎ * Governance: Decisions regarding protocol upgrades, fee structures, and the "Red Stuff" algorithm parameters are determined by $wal holders.

‎This economic model creates a virtuous cycle: as more dApps migrate to @Walrus 🦭/acc for its superior blob storage, the demand for $WAL increases. For those looking to participate in the Sui-based storage revolution, $WAL is the primary gateway.#walrus
