Walrus Site Hosting (SWION Gallery)
Overview
SWION leverages Walrus Site to create a decentralized, persistent aquarium gallery where users can browse and explore each other's Tanks. This integration transforms individual Tanks into an interconnected community experience, similar to visiting a large public aquarium with unique exhibits created by each user.
