WAL Tokenomics FAQ

Key questions and answers about Walrus tokenomics. Last updated 07/28/26, 5:34 PM

What is the utility of the WAL token?

Walrus has 4 primary token utilities:

  • Network Security: Walrus uses delegated proof-of-stake where storage node operators and delegators stake WAL tokens to secure the network; nodes must maintain minimum WAL stakes to participate in the active storage committee that manages data storage.
  • Staking Rewards: Staking rewards are distributed at epoch boundaries proportional to stake weight, funded by storage fees and protocol subsidies. In epoch 18, ~12M WAL were allocated as rewards, yielding ~31% annualized returns.
  • Service Payments: Users prepay for blob storage with WAL tokens, locking in fixed rates for up to two years. Storage resources can also be extended, traded, or reassigned to new data.
  • Delegated: Token holders delegate WAL to storage node operators who vote on protocol parameters (penalties, pricing, epoch lengths) with voting power proportional to their total delegated stake. Holders participate indirectly through staking choices.
