Walrus Protocol's recent development plan includes the integration of the WAL token with an autonomous delegated proof-of-stake mechanism, achieving fully decentralized node staking operations. This design approach is indeed impressive—allowing validators to participate in ecosystem governance directly while avoiding centralized risks.

The upcoming technical iterations are clearly focused. The project team plans to gradually implement a node auditing system to ensure network security; simultaneously, they will launch paid accelerated read services to provide professional users with a more efficient data access experience; lightweight node functionality will lower participation barriers, enabling ordinary users to also participate in network maintenance.

In the long term, Walrus's ambition is to reach EB-level storage capacity and build a truly inclusive decentralized storage ecosystem. If these plans are executed in an orderly manner, they will serve as a significant demonstration for the entire Web3 storage sector.

Uh, another storage project. Will it succeed this time? Decentralization sounds great, but can it really be achieved? Walrus wants to reach EB-level storage... that's a bit exaggerated. Let's stabilize security first. Paid acceleration actually feels like a way to harvest users' funds. Lowering the barrier for light nodes is good, but will ordinary users really maintain the network? I doubt it. Reaching EB-level storage is a bold goal. Is the capital in place? Staking without intermediaries sounds good, but I'm worried it might just be a disguised way to harvest users' funds later. This round of iteration needs to be genuinely pushed forward before we can say anything. Right now, it's all just PPT. Node auditing systems are the most critical. No matter how many features there are, if security isn't solid, it's all useless. How much is the WAL token worth now? Is anyone buying in?

Decentralizing the intermediary sounds good in theory, but actually implementing it is another matter. EB-level storage sounds great, but I'm worried it might just be empty promises. Let's wait until the auditing system is actually in place before discussing further. I'm actually interested in lowering the barrier for light nodes. Can ordinary people participate and make money? What is the current price of WAL tokens? If this plan can really be pushed forward, the ecosystem should have some potential.

Wow, decentralized node staking is really impressive. This is what Web3 should look like. EB-level storage capacity? That's pretty powerful. Let's see it implemented first. If lightweight node functions are developed, it won't be so hard for ordinary people to get involved. But when it comes to paid acceleration, how should the pricing be set to avoid issues? The auditing system needs to keep up; otherwise, security risks will still exist.

Decentralized staking sounds good, but how much of it can actually be implemented? I've heard too many promises.

Listen up, WAL's decentralized logic does have some interesting points, but the goal of EB-level storage... it's easier said than done. I'm optimistic about lowering the threshold for light nodes; finally, there's a project that considers ordinary people.

Did I misunderstand? EB-level storage sounds impressive, but can it really be implemented?

Oh no, an EB-level storage capacity sounds a bit exaggerated? It depends on whether it can really be implemented in the end. The WAL move to eliminate intermediaries is quite good, but I wonder if the auditing system will be delayed until the Year of the Monkey. I like the idea of lightweight nodes; at least there's a project thinking about ordinary people. Paying for accelerated reading... means more money, wallet alert. This plan looks quite grand, but whether Walrus can follow through is the key, right? Feels like just another storage project hype, let's wait and see. The talk of decentralization has been heard too many times; the real skill is in how to actually do it.
