Walrus and the Economics of Cheap Storage

Storage has always been the hardest economic problem in Web3. Full replication keeps data safe — but pushes costs higher and favors operators with massive budgets.

Walrus changes the equation by using erasure-coding instead of brute-force replication. Only a subset of fragments is required for recovery, reducing overhead while preserving resilience.

The result is a model where decentralization and affordability reinforce each other rather than compete.@Walrus 🦭/acc #walrus $XPL
