Walrus ($WAL ) is the native utility token of the Walrus decentralized storage network, built on the Sui blockchain — a layer-1 smart contract platform. The project aims to provide scalable, cost-efficient, and verifiable decentralized storage and data availability for Web3 applications, including large unstructured files like videos, images, and AI datasets. 
Walrus is not just a meme or fun token — it’s designed as core infrastructure for real storage solutions used by developers, dApps, and decentralized websites.

💰 What the $WAL Token Does
The WAL token is central to how the Walrus network functions:
🛠️ Utility & Payments • Users pay WAL to upload and store data. • Costs are designed to be stable relative to fiat, protecting users from large price swings. 
📊 Staking & Network Security • WAL can be staked or delegated to support storage nodes. • Node operators earn rewards for uptime and availability. • Misbehaving nodes can be penalized (slashed). 
🗳️ Governance • WAL holders can vote on key protocol decisions, such as parameters for rewards and penalties. 
🔥 Tokenomics Highlights • Total supply: 5,000,000,000 WAL. • A large portion (~43%) is held for community growth, airdrops, developer support, and ecosystem incentives.
