Most internet users trust centralized systems without realizing the risks. In Web3, this trust model is supposed to change. However, many applications still rely on centralized storage, re-introducing the same risks Web3 aims to eliminate.
Centralized storage creates dependency. If one provider fails, changes rules, or restricts access, applications break. This is unacceptable for decentralized ecosystems that aim to operate without intermediaries.
Decentralized storage shifts trust from companies to networks. Data is distributed, verified, and maintained collectively. This reduces censorship, improves resilience, and strengthens security.
Walrus embraces this philosophy by designing storage for trustless environments. Instead of relying on promises, the system relies on structure and incentives.
The $WAL token helps ensure participants act in the network’s best interest. Storage providers are rewarded for reliability, while malicious behavior becomes costly.
Web3 cannot scale on centralized foundations. Trust must be decentralized at every layer.
