Walrus (WAL) is a decentralized storage protocol built on the Sui blockchain, designed to meet the growing need for secure, scalable, and cost‑efficient storage in Web3. Rather than relying on centralized cloud providers, Walrus splits your data into cryptographically encoded fragments and distributes them across a global network of independent storage nodes. This ensures stored content remains available, censorship‑resistant, and verifiable over time, even if some parts of the network go offline. The protocol uses advanced erasure coding to reduce storage costs and improve reliability compared with traditional replication models, making it ideal for large files like AI datasets, multimedia, and NFT media.

The WAL token plays several essential roles within the Walrus ecosystem. Users pay storage fees in WAL when uploading data, while node operators earn WAL rewards for storing and serving data. WAL is also used for staking and delegated proof‑of‑stake (dPoS) governance, enabling token holders to vote on network upgrades, storage pricing, and economic parameters. This aligns long‑term incentives between storage providers, developers, and users. #walrus @Walrus 🦭/acc $WAL
