I have spent years analyzing Web3 infrastructure, and the recent progress of @Walrus 🦭/acc marks a pivotal shift in how we value data. With the successful migration of users from Tusky this month, Walrus has proven it can handle the "heavy lifting"—storing massive datasets, from AI model weights to gaming assets, without bloating the ledger.
The $WAL token continues to demonstrate robust utility as the network's economic engine. Beyond a simple payment for storage, $WAL serves as critical collateral for storage nodes and a deflationary asset through transaction burns. With recent data showing a market cap surpassing $230M and a new influx of liquidity from Upbit, I believe Walrus is no longer just a project—it is the foundational layer for a decentralized, data-driven future.
