Long-term explorers in the crypto space understand a fundamental truth: the reason people completely abandon a protocol is usually not due to lack of features, but because of a security risk or operational failure. In comparison, Walrus's killer feature appears quite "low-key"—it simply leaves no room for users to worry. Once data is stored, users generally don't need to repeatedly verify security because this system is so stable that it inspires confidence.
The most telling evidence is a set of invisible data. Some applications have been online for only three months, yet core business data is still being continuously written into Walrus, and they haven't switched to other temporary solutions just because the novelty has worn off. This behavior itself is the most rigorous real-world test—proving that it can truly operate in practical business scenarios.
But even more interesting is the subtle shift in user mindset. From initially thinking "Let's try and see what this is," to casually using it in daily operations, and then, when contemplating switching, unconsciously asking themselves: "Is it really necessary to change?" In the unpredictable Web3 world, this habitual trust is extremely rare.
When a protocol gradually becomes part of users' daily routines, it has long surpassed the label of a mere "tool." The market often overlooks projects that never drop the ball and quietly provide value. Little do they realize, these kinds of entities are often the most resilient during industry upheavals, becoming the stabilizing force within the ecosystem.

Stability is really underestimated. No one brags about it, they just use it quietly, much better than those who promote it every day.

Stability is a scarce commodity in the crypto world, no wonder users are reluctant to mess around.
By the way, Walrus's approach is quite interesting; it doesn't rely on marketing hype at all, just avoids incidents to attract fans.
Still storing data there after three months? That shows a lot of trust. If it were me, I would have already run away to find something new.
Once a habit is formed, it's hard to change. On this point, Walrus definitely wins.
The most lacking thing in the crypto space is projects that can focus on doing things steadily; most are just hyping concepts.
Suddenly reminded of those protocols that stay silent but never drop the chain, and actually last longer than those that market every day.
This is the real moat—the users are simply too lazy to switch.

Stability is truly a scarce commodity in the crypto world; it's more valuable than any innovation gimmick.
Three months of continuous data input—that's real voting.
Honestly, projects like Walrus that operate quietly are the most terrifying. While others hype concepts, it quietly runs stably.
Projects that never experience a chain drop are always underestimated—that's a common problem in the crypto space.
Habitual trust is indeed rare in Web3, I have to admit that.
The shift from thinking about switching to "Is it really necessary?" is quite interesting, indicating that the product has truly resonated.
Stability outweighs everything; everything else is just superficial.
A new application still in use after three months—that data is more convincing than any marketing.

Stability is the strongest marketing, Walrus is really solid
I've never seen a project that makes users so lazy they don't want to switch
This is the real moat, worth more than any air promises
I'm just worried about black swan events later; stability so far doesn't mean it will always be stable
It sounds good, but you'll know once big funds come in
With such high user stickiness, it clearly hasn't scammed people
But remember, in the crypto world, there's no eternal stability, only ones that haven't爆雷 yet
The most feared are projects that are overhyped
Is Walrus really doing the work or just lucky? Time will tell
Hey, isn't this logic the universal script for all good projects?

Stability is indeed the key, but the market still prefers to chase hot topics, sigh
---
The true moat is that users are too lazy to bother, Walrus has got this down
---
Habit is stronger than features, this hits the nail on the head
---
What does it mean if you’re still using it after three months? Product strength is real, but it depends on whether it can hold up later
---
The psychological shift from "try it out" to "is it really necessary to change?" is quite genuine
---
One slip-up and it's over, so stability = life line, no problem
---
Feels reasonable, but Web3 projects also crash quickly, so we still need to observe
---
I really dislike those who hype up wildly and then things go wrong immediately, a bit worried about being overly optimistic
---
Low-key projects are indeed easily overlooked, but maybe that's also an opportunity
---
Using the term "Sea God Needle" might be a bit premature, let's wait and see
