#walrus $WAL Walrus ($WAL) is a decentralized storage network designed by Mysten Labs to handle the massive data needs of modern applications, especially AI. Unlike traditional cloud storage, it breaks files into pieces and distributes them globally, ensuring that even if many servers go offline, your data remains accessible. 🌐
Let's explore how this works. I’ll ask questions along the way to help us dive deeper into the protocol. Which area should we look at first?
The Tech Behind the "Slivers" 🧩
How Walrus uses a unique encoding method called "Red Stuff" to store data more efficiently and securely than traditional backups.
The $WAL Economy 🪙
How the token powers the network, from paying for storage to incentivizing the people running the servers.
Real-World AI & Web Use 🤖
How Walrus is being used for "decentralized websites" and massive AI training datasets.
