Walrus, a permissionless storage network designed to securely and efficiently store large files. This network handles blob data such as videos, images, PDFs, AI models, and blockchain histories at scale. Because the network operates through independent nodes rather than a single central authority, files remain accessible even if some nodes fail.

Walrus prioritizes data availability as a core feature. Thus, the need for verifiable and fast data reads for blockchain and decentralized applications is met. The design choices consider both performance and cost.
The economic infrastructure of this protocol is based on the WAL token. Users pay with WAL to upload and store data; these nodes are then rewarded for those payments. The WAL token is also used to enhance network security through staking and to give voting power in governance decisions.
How to Use Walrus (WAL)?
To use Walrus, you first need to acquire WAL tokens. Tokens can be purchased from supported exchanges and stored in a secure wallet. DeFi users can stake WAL tokens to participate in governance or interact with dApps. Storage users can create and manage blob data through the Walrus network. CLI tools, web interfaces, and SDKs make integration easier for developers and users.
