Walrus Protocol is becoming increasingly prominent in the Web3 ecosystem. The core focus of this project is very clear—decentralized storage and data availability, using innovative technical solutions to handle large data blocks while controlling costs and ensuring performance. For developers and projects building applications on-chain, this high-efficiency, low-cost solution is simply a must-have.

From a token perspective, WAL is not just a governance tool. It plays a substantive role in network security and also stimulates community participation through incentive mechanisms. This design gives the token itself practical value, rather than just being a speculative asset.

Even more interestingly, as the Web3 ecosystem continues to evolve, projects like Walrus that focus on infrastructure are becoming increasingly critical. Data storage and availability are the underlying needs of the entire ecosystem; whoever can excel at this layer will hold the future discourse power. Based on current development trends, Walrus has the potential to become an important foundational infrastructure in the Web3 data layer.

Underlying infrastructure is the key, and I am optimistic about Walrus in this wave.

WAL really hit the mark this time; whoever does solid work in the storage layer will win. Storage infrastructure is truly an overlooked gold mine; developers are in great need of this set. Speaking of tokens, projects with actual use cases are still few; most are just for fun. In terms of underlying infrastructure, whoever secures the position first will control the rhythm; everyone who understands knows this. These kinds of infrastructure projects are much more reliable in the long run than those flashy things. WAL's incentive mechanism design is quite good; at least it's not just a typical rug pull scheme. Honestly, if storage issues are resolved, the entire ecosystem can breathe easily; it feels like Walrus has found the right direction.

Underlying infrastructure is indeed the future, but whether Walrus can truly establish itself depends on implementation; don't just talk about it on paper.

Infrastructure is the key, and this time someone finally explained it clearly Deep storage has indeed been neglected for too long. I quite agree with the WAL design concept I'm just worried it will become the next hype concept; it depends on the actual usage volume

The infrastructure track really can't keep up anymore, but the Walrus idea is still viable; low-cost storage is indeed a pain point. WAL tokens have real utility and are not just air; this is much more honest than most projects. The discourse power in the data layer... sounds grand, but I'm just afraid it's another story of a "revolutionary technology." However, if it can really be achieved, it's definitely worth watching. In storage, whoever does it solidly will win.
