Walrus as a key project in the Sui ecosystem, supported in depth by Mysten Labs, with a financing scale of $140 million, currently has ecosystem lock-in value at the 2.5 billion level. The competition for airdrop eligibility is entering its final stage, and users interested in participating need to complete operations as soon as possible.

**Preparation Stage (2 Steps)**

First, install the official wallet. Desktop users search for "Sui Wallet" in the Chrome browser to add the extension; mobile users download the official version from the app store. Pay special attention to the fact that the recovery seed phrase generated by the wallet must be manually recorded in a safe place. Never use screenshots or electronic methods to save it, as this is the first line of defense for protecting your assets.

Next, if you are a new user, it is recommended to familiarize yourself with the process in the testnet environment first. Switch your wallet network to "Sui Testnet", then visit the testnet faucet to obtain test SUI for practice. Usually it will arrive within one minute. If you are already a mainnet user, prepare an appropriate amount of real SUI to participate directly without additional practice.

**Operation Stage (3 Steps)**

Open the official staking platform, click the connect wallet button, and select Sui Wallet to complete authorization. This process is quick, usually completed in about half a minute. One small tip: ensure the URL is completely correct, and it's best to bookmark the official website in your browser to prevent entering a fake platform.

After entering the platform, first convert all held SUI to WAL tokens in the exchange area (note: do not leave scattered balances), then enter the staking function. Select a verified node with the "Verified" label, stake no less than 1 WAL and confirm authorization. After the transaction is completed, your eligibility is locked.

The entire process from wallet installation to eligibility confirmation takes approximately 3 to 5 minutes for new users. The key is not to delay, as airdrop spots are indeed being consumed rapidly.
