Walrus is a decentralized storage protocol built on the Sui blockchain, with its native token WAL playing multiple roles within the ecosystem. This system achieves significant reductions in storage costs through innovative technological solutions while ensuring data security. Users can pay for storage services with WAL, participate in node staking to earn rewards, or exercise voting rights in community governance. The project has attracted the attention of several leading investment institutions. In the increasingly diverse Web3 landscape, it provides flexible storage solutions for scenarios such as DeFi, NFT, and application layers. As an emerging force in the storage sector, Walrus is exploring how to redefine the future of data storage through decentralization.

Bro, the Sui chain project is trying new tricks again Can storage costs really be reduced this much? I need to test it myself to believe it The WAL token model sounds good, but I wonder if they'll rug pull later It's another top institution paying attention, this kind of pitch is getting a bit tired Whether the storage track is hot or not still depends on the user base

Is there a new player in the storage track? The Sui ecosystem has quite a bit of support. How are the WAL staking yields? Has anyone tested them? Sui's ecosystem development is indeed promising, but it still depends on how well it can be implemented. I'm a bit curious about the reduction in storage costs. How much can it actually be lowered? Endorsements from investment institutions sound impressive, but when it comes to projects, you still need to look at TVL and real users. Hey, why do storage projects need to use tokens? Can't they just use fiat currency directly? The name Walrus has a bit of a curry flavor, but it’s memorable... If the staking APY doesn’t reach double digits, I think it might not be very attractive. Is decentralized storage making a comeback? It feels like this track has been talked about for many years without any breakthroughs. Honestly, how is data security verified? It all seems a bit mystical.

New players are entering the storage track. What new tricks can Sui chain come up with this time? WAL staking yields sound good, but what’s the actual APY, everyone? Really decentralized storage can be that much cheaper? I’m a bit skeptical. Walrus is indeed a unique name, but I wonder if TPS can keep up. Early involvement in storage protocols still feels a bit risky... Top institutions are optimistic, so I need to do more research. Low cost + data security, can both be achieved at the same time? I understand the principles, but I have questions about the details. Staking mining is back again, such fierce competition.

Another storage coin, is it real that it can reduce costs? Another one in the Sui ecosystem, is WAL reliable? Staking yields sound good, but what about the risks? Having many investment institutions doesn't necessarily mean the project is good. The storage track is so competitive, what makes Walrus stand out?

Storage is about to take off again, Walrus's approach is quite interesting WAL can be mined and voted on, what's the difference with Filecoin? There's a new development on Sui, the ecosystem is indeed active How are the staking rewards? Has anyone tested them? Be careful, those investment institutions are just here to harvest the leeks

Cost reduction in storage? Sounds good, but I'm worried it's just another PPT project. --- Another one from the Sui ecosystem, can WAL avoid crashing? --- I'm tempted by staking yields, but it feels like I'm about to get cut again. --- Can this thing really solve storage pain points, or is it just another hype around concepts? --- DeFi and NFT all need storage? Someone should have done this a long time ago. --- Major institutions are coming in, do retail investors still have a chance... --- Decentralized storage has been talked about forever, why can Walrus succeed? --- How much can costs be reduced? What's the specific number? --- Another Sui chain, why are there suddenly so many projects on this chain?

Is the storage track about to take off again? I feel like I've heard this phrase a thousand times before...

Is there a new player in the storage track, but is it just about being cheap? --- Is the Sui ecosystem about to take off? Feels like there’s a new project every week. --- Staking yields are pretty good, but I’m worried it might just be another rug pull scheme. --- How to verify data security? It always feels like just hype. --- Top institutions are paying attention, which shows this track really has potential. --- How high can WAL go? My answer is optimistic, HODL. --- Decentralized storage isn’t a new concept anymore, what about Arweave? --- Paying for storage with WAL? It’s better to just use Filecoin for peace of mind. --- Real adoption depends on application volume; no matter how much hype there is, it’s useless without it. --- Community governance rights are good, but with such a small ecosystem, what about the influence?

A new addition to the Sui ecosystem, storage definitely needs someone to do it. --- Is WAL staking yield really attractive, or is it just another scam? --- Decentralized storage has been talked about too many times. Can Walrus make a difference this time? --- Major institutions are coming in, so we should pay attention. --- It's called a redefinition in nice words, but it's actually just a rephrasing of an old project. --- If cost reduction can truly be achieved, it would be good for the ecosystem. --- It seems that Web3 storage is the real demand, more reliable than those flashy applications. --- It's also on the Sui chain; now everyone is gathering on Sui.

Storage costs significantly reduced? Isn't this just another hype? Let's see how it actually performs once launched. --- Sui ecosystem has gained a new player, and the WAL token design is quite fancy. --- All the top institutions are here, should I jump in or keep observing? --- Staking mining, governance voting, one scheme after another. --- Decentralized storage sounds good, but I'm worried it might just be vaporware. --- Who will ensure data security? Is Walrus reliable? --- I've heard about cost reductions too many times... --- It seems the storage sector is heating up again. Hopefully, this time it won't be cut short.
