Walrus (WAL): Where DeFi Meets Real Infrastructure
Most DeFi projects focus on speed, yield, and liquidity—but Walrus plays a different game. WAL, the native token of the Walrus protocol, isn’t just about private transactions or governance. It tackles a challenge every serious blockchain eventually faces: storing data at scale.
Blockchains aren’t built for large files—they’re meant to record and verify small bits of information. Yet decentralized apps need more: media, datasets, user histories, app logs—the “heavy” data that makes an app usable. Walrus solves this by running on Sui, using blob storage for large files, and applying erasure coding to spread files across the network, keeping them recoverable even if nodes go offline.
Walrus isn’t just a token story—it’s an infrastructure story. WAL integrates with staking and governance to align incentives, keeping the storage network active, secure, and decentralized over time.
