Walrus does not rely solely on cryptography to secure its network. A key component of @Walrus 🦭/acc is its incentive structure, where $WAL functions as an economic enforcement layer. Nodes are rewarded for maintaining data availability and penalized when they fail to meet protocol requirements. This creates a cost for misbehavior and a measurable benefit for honest participation. By embedding incentives directly into storage operations, Walrus reduces the need for trust assumptions and strengthens network reliability at scale.#walrus
