The "power outage" risk of centralized storage giants is driving the market to seek new solutions. By joining the WAL ecosystem, you can participate in multiple ways to earn rewards and influence.

First is node staking — this is the core mechanism to protect the network's operation. By staking WAL tokens, participants can contribute to the security of the entire network and continuously earn rewards. Second, WAL, as the native payment tool within the ecosystem, can be directly used to purchase efficient decentralized storage services, making storage costs more transparent and the experience smoother. Lastly, don't overlook governance rights — token holders have the say in future protocol upgrades and parameter adjustments, which is true community-driven governance.

Compared to traditional centralized solutions, the decentralized storage ecosystem means a complete departure from single point of failure risks, and user data is no longer controlled by any single entity.
