#walrus $WAL
Walrus Protocol didn’t just show up in 2025—they dominated. Mainnet went live on March 27, and right out of the gate, they teamed up with Claynosaurz, racked up 4.5 million blobs stored, and just kept the wins coming. The foundation locked down $140 million from a16z and Standard Crypto, making programmable storage real for dApps, AI, and gaming.
Over in the Sui ecosystem, Grayscale put the spotlight on WAL, listing it alongside DeepBook. Binance Alpha hopped in, and suddenly, liquidity took off.
Hackathons sparked a bunch of Haulout winners, and the blogs dove into everything from AI agents to EV data rewards. Walrus isn’t just another storage layer—it’s turning into Web3’s data nervous system. Partnerships started flying in: OneFootball brought football content, Space and Time delivered onchain insights, and Gata dropped AI infrastructure costs.
Looking ahead to 2026, get ready for agentic payments and real, verifiable AI leading the way. Staking rewards are already live, NFT airdrops got snapped up, and WAL holders are catching the wind as the whole ecosystem picks up speed.
