Walrus exists to keep data available even when no one is watching. When something happens on-chain, it creates data that acts as proof. At first, this data is easy to access because the network is active. Over time, activity slows, costs rise, and fewer nodes want to store old data. That is when problems start.
Walrus was built to handle this exact moment. It keeps data accessible by splitting it into small encrypted pieces and spreading them across many nodes. No single group controls the data, and no single failure can remove access.
$WAL rewards nodes that stay reliable over time. Walrus does not chase attention. It protects history.
