Cost optimization isn’t just about lowering prices — it’s about aligning costs with value delivered. Walrus does this by making nodes pay only for what they actually need to store and prove.
What stood out to me is how cost optimization and verification reinforce each other. Nodes that store data efficiently and reliably earn more. Nodes that waste resources or skip obligations lose out.
This creates a natural pressure toward better infrastructure and smarter operations. In the long run, that’s how decentralized systems become competitive with centralized ones. $WAL #walrus
