Data is the new oil, but currently, only a few companies control the refineries. @Walrus 🦭/acc is democratizing this by creating a marketplace for data. Through the use of "blobs" and the $WAL token, anyone can publish data and set permissions or payment terms for its access. This is particularly exciting for decentralized science (DeSci) and open-source research. Scientists can upload vast amounts of research data to Walrus, knowing it is permanent and verifiable. This creates a "global brain" where information is accessible to all, but protected by the same cryptographic principles that secure our financial transactions.
