Most people think Web3’s biggest challenge was high fees or slow transactions. That’s only half the story. The real failure was data. As NFTs, games, and AI apps grew, blockchains could move value but could not reliably keep large data available. That gap is exactly why Walrus was created. Built by Mysten Labs, the same team behind the Sui blockchain, @@Walrus 🦭/acc was designed as a decentralized data availability and storage layer for large “blob” data. This wasn’t a marketing experiment—it was a response to real technical pain. The token $WAL exists to incentivize nodes to keep data accessible over time, not just stored once and forgotten. The controversial truth is this: without data availability, decentralization breaks. Walrus challenges the industry by saying that most Web3 apps were fragile by design—and it’s trying to fix that at the infrastructure level. #Walrus
