I’m looking at Walrus as a storage network built for how data really behaves today.
Files are large. AI needs memory.
Applications depend on data that cannot disappear.
Walrus stores big data off chain while using the blockchain to prove that data exists and is paid for.
They’re not copying files endlessly.
Instead data is encoded and spread across many storage nodes.
Even if some nodes fail the data can still be recovered.
This is important because decentralized networks are never stable and Walrus is designed for that reality.
What stands out to me is how Walrus separates roles.
The blockchain handles ownership time and coordination.
The storage network handles scale and weight.
This keeps things efficient and verifiable at the same time.
The purpose behind Walrus is not hype. It is structure.
They’re building a place where applications AI systems and users can rely on data without trusting a single company.
I’m seeing Walrus as infrastructure that stays in the background but quietly holds everything together.
