Let’s get technical for a second, because that’s where the real value lives. I’ve been digging into the "Red Stuff" encoding used by Walrus Protocol, and it’s a masterclass in efficiency. Most storage protocols are too expensive because they just make 3x or 4x copies of your data. Walrus uses 2D erasure coding to slice data into tiny fragments.
This is exactly what the AI sector needs right now. Storing 20GB+ model weights is a nightmare on traditional chains, but on Walrus, it’s cheap and resilient. Even if 60% of the nodes go offline, your data is still perfectly reconstructible. This technical edge is why we’re seeing so much accumulation around the WAL cointag lately. We aren't just betting on a coin; we are betting on a math-driven solution to the world's data storage crisis. The efficiency of $WAL is its greatest competitive advantage.
