From mere storage to economy: the real role of the token model. Why does the Walras protocol require tokens to function? The answer lies in ensuring the reliability of data storage, creating incentives among participants, and building mechanisms that allow everyone to participate equally. The WAL token is not just a medium of exchange but rather the driving engine that powers the entire network system as a living and dynamic entity. The Walras token model is based on three main pillars. First, storage providers are rewarded for keeping data available and verifiable. This is a direct incentive to ensure the integrity and availability of data. Furthermore, builders pay according to actual usage, and providers are rewarded based on their actual performance, creating a balanced relationship. This mechanism naturally optimizes service quality and usage costs. @Walrus 🦭/acc $WAL #Walrus
Verification Data: How Walrus Addresses the Trillion-Dollar Quality Crisis
This industry faces a quietly yet devastating problem: the inability to verify whether the data we trust is truly reliable. From machine learning to digital advertising, critical systems are built on information whose authenticity can never be verified. The solution requires verifiable data from its source. In a world where AI manages credit decisions, recruitment, and medical diagnoses, the risks become exponential. As many as 87% of artificial intelligence projects never reach production, and the cause lies not in the algorithms but in the poor quality of data used to train these systems. For an industry worth $200 billion, this figure represents a major failure. The impact goes beyond AI. Digital advertising, a $750 billion annual market, loses nearly a third of its investment due to fraud and inaccuracies, primarily because transactions can never be reliably audited. Even technology giants like Amazon have had to abandon entire projects after investing years in development, finding that their training data replicated discriminatory biases. When automated systems make critical decisions, there is rarely a way to trace and verify the integrity of the data that sources them. Hidden Costs of Unverified Data in Critical Industries Flawed data not only corrupts algorithms; it massively amplifies those flaws. Models trained with biased, corrupted, or inaccurate information do not make random errors, but rather systematically replicate and exacerbate the biases from their training data. The Amazon case illustrates this reality. Its recruitment tool was not designed to discriminate but "learned" to do so after being fed historical data dominated by male recruitment. No algorithm is sophisticated enough to deal with a fundamentally tainted dataset. The challenge is more than just incorrect data. Training datasets are collected and processed without leaving a verifiable trace of their origins, modifications made, or changes in their integrity. When this data trains systems that decide on loans, diagnoses, or job promotions, there is no mechanism to indicate where the data originated from or whether it has been altered. Cryptographic Verification as a Foundation of Trust Building trustworthy AI requires something that the largest data centers or fastest processors cannot provide: data whose authenticity can be verified from the very first byte. Walrus implements this precisely, allowing for end-to-end data verification. In this model, each file receives a unique and verifiable identifier. Every change is recorded in the supply chain. Developers can cryptographically show where their data comes from, who altered it, and whether the data remains intact. When regulators question the decisions of fraud detection models, it becomes possible to present a blob identifier (a unique hash generated from the data itself), showcasing a Sui object that documents its storage history, and cryptographically verify that the training data has never been altered. Walrus integrates with the Sui stack to coordinate programs on the blockchain, building a layer of trust where data can be trusted and verified by design, not just based on good faith assumptions. Success Case: From Amazon to Alkimi Digital advertising is another sector that has been shattered by unverifiable information. Advertisers invest in a $750 billion market but face inaccurate reports, systematic fraud, and impressions generated by bots. Transactions are dispersed across various platforms, and the performance measurement systems are the same ones that benefit from reporting inflated numbers. Alkimi is redesigning the programmatic advertising landscape by making all data verifiable. Every impression, bid, and transaction is stored in Walrus with immutable records. The platform integrates encryption for sensitive customer data and processes reconciliations with cryptographic verification of accuracy, making it the ideal solution for an industry where data must, above all, be verifiable. The Future of Verifiable Data in DeFi and AI What began in AdTech is just scratching the surface of possible applications. AI developers can eliminate bias by selecting datasets whose authenticity can be cryptographically verified. DeFi protocols can tokenize verified data as collateral, similar to how AdFi transforms proven advertising revenue into programmable assets. Decentralized data markets can thrive as users monetize their personal information while maintaining cryptographically guaranteed privacy. All this is made possible because, for the first time, data does not require blind trust: it can be mathematically proven. WAL ($0.09 at the time of writing) forms the economic foundation of this ecosystem, incentivizing participants to maintain data integrity within the Sui network. When Data Becomes Inherently Verifiable Flawed data has crippled entire industries for too long. Without the ability to verify the reliability of our data, we cannot move forward to the innovations promised this century: from AI systems labeled trustworthy to DeFi protocols that prevent fraud and eliminate bad actors in real-time. Walrus builds the infrastructure that enables this change. By building on a platform where data can be verified from its creation, organizations can trust from day one that their systems are built on a solid, objective foundation. The future will not be faster or bigger, but more verifiable.

Dusk Network (DUSK): Technical Reset Meets Real Utility
After weeks of steady downward pressure, DUSK is showing early signs of stabilization near the historical demand zone. On the lower time frames, prices have experienced compression within a declining structure, with several higher lows forming near support — a classic setup that often precedes an expansion of volatility. The attached chart highlights this compression phase, along with a potential breakout path towards previous liquidity levels if momentum reverses.
Xuguang Electronics announced that the company intends to issue A shares for specific targets in 2026 to raise a total of no more than RMB 1 billion, which will be used for the expansion project of high-voltage vacuum interrupters (72.5kV and above), high-power plasma heated transmitters, rotary tubes, and R&D and industrialization projects for transient energy management switches and additional working capital projects. The number of shares issued for specific targets is determined by dividing the total amount of funds raised by the issuance price, and does not exceed 30% of the total share capital of the company before issuance, which is no more than 249 million shares (including the number of shares). The final issuance price will be determined by the company's board of directors in accordance with the authorization of the shareholders' meeting after the application for this issuance is reviewed by the Shanghai Stock Exchange and registered with the approval of the China Securities Regulatory Commission, in accordance with the provisions of laws, regulations, departmental rules, and relevant normative documents, and according to the results of the offering, according to the sponsor (lead underwriter) of the offering, but not lower than the above-mentioned reserve price. @Plasma #plasma $XPL
Stablecoin transfers are hijacked by Gas, and user experience becomes a barrier to development
The core dilemma faced by stablecoins is not the quantity or insufficient technological advancement, but a fundamental issue: Can I transfer money directly using only stablecoins? The current answer is no. If users want to make small transfers, they not only have to have a wallet on the appropriate chain, but also buy native coins as fuel first, and choose the right chain - choosing the wrong chain can immediately lose assets. Ironically, sometimes you need to prepare a gas fee of $5 to transfer $10, like going to a convenience store to buy water but being asked to present a 'fuel card' before paying. The fundamental reason why this experience is terrible is that stablecoin payments cannot be as transparent as traditional payment instruments. Users do not want to hold volatile assets as a precondition for payment; in high-frequency small transfers, every transaction has to deal with complex gas operations, and the payment experience drops. For most non-crypto users, they do not understand gas, cross-chain linking, and signature risks, and just want to 'get there at a glance.' According to Visa data, the trading volume of stablecoins has surpassed $51 trillion in the last 12 months, and there is no shortage of transaction volume, but what is lacking is liberating ordinary users and daily payment scenarios from the shackles of gas. The underlying breakthrough of Plasma: paying to eliminate gas requirements for stablecoins. The innovation of the Plasma project is to make a bottom-up change, spinning 'Zero-fee stablecoin transfers' established as a native chain capability. This is not a marketing gimmick, but an architectural design that truly solves the user experience problem. Officials explained that stablecoin transfers are the core application scenario of Plasma. In this network, users can send stablecoins without holding native coins, as the system already has built-in mechanisms designed for high-frequency, low-cost, and nearly instant payments. This means: users no longer need to learn blockchain knowledge to use payment tools. The implementation logic of zero-rate transfers is to change the costs from 'explicit payments by users' to 'settlements and system-level subsidies/pricing.' In other words, the network has operational costs, but these costs are redesigned into the internal economic model of the system instead of being directly passed on to each transfer user. The logic of XPL value: from no-fee design to self-consistent economy. Since users do not pay gas, who will bear the security budget and execution gas costs of the network? This is the main reason why Plasma introduces XPL. XPL is more like a 'system need' than a simple currency price narrative. In the Plasma system, XPL plays two key roles: Security and incentive level: Validator rewards start at an initial annual inflation rate of 5% and decrease to a long-term floor of 3% over time (activated after the validator and external delegation function is launched) to ensure that the network's security needs are met. Value hedging level: Introducing a burning fee method similar to EIP-1559 to turn network usage into deflationary pressure on XPL. Simply put, the larger the trading volume of stablecoins and the more XPL that is burned, the greater the inflation that will be offset. This forms a positive cycle of 'the more people use, the more value the system retains.' As for the latest data (February 4, 2026), the current price of XPL is $0.10 with a 24-hour change of -5.17%.

Why Loose Traditional FortressesGold status as a primary reserve asset is being tested by reality. The depletion of national reserves reflects the bitter truth that centralized storage of a single physical asset lacks resilience in complex international situations. Under this traditional model, assets have limited liquidity, lack transparency, and incur high transfer costs. When great powers are forced to face such choices, we cannot help but wonder: should the safety net for future value still rely entirely on paper promises from underground vaults?Real assets on-chain: stone giants can also "shine" on-chainThis is not a crisis but an opportunity for a paradigm shift. Vanar Chain attempts a completely different approach - allowing real-world assets to circulate like digital assets through high-performance, low-cost blockchain infrastructure. Real estate, treasury bonds, commodities, and even intellectual property can all be tokenized and traded freely on-chain. On-chain solutions for these real-world assets (RWA) solve the dilemma of geographically restricted physical assets and inefficient transactions. Compared with traditional methods, on-chain circulation is more transparent, faster, cheaper, and not limited by a single national border. From a technical perspective, the design architecture of Vanar Chain provides a viable foundation for RWA scenarios. It not only brings transaction functionality, but more importantly, establishes a mechanism for value confirmation and decentralized circulation - which is a shortcoming of traditional systems.Value of Mineral Deposits in the Metaverse: Explosive Growth of the Digital Asset EcosystemIn line with the on-chain transfer of RWA is an explosion of asset value in the virtual world. The value generated by gaming assets, digital collectibles, and creator economies has become a new economic engine. Vanar Chain provides an almost "unreasonable" blockchain experience for these virtual assets, where users can achieve true ownership and liquidity without feeling the complicated on-chain interactions. This is crucial as it grants virtual value the same rights as real assets. Digital entertainment assets are no longer just virtual currency in games, but value carriers with global liquidity. From a market size perspective, the average annual growth rate of the global digital entertainment market has exceeded 15%, and the output value of this "virtual gold mine" is expected to surpass 100 billion USD in the future.From Underground Vaults to Code Fortresses: Redefining the Value NetworkUnder the traditional order, centralized national reserve management is considered a security guarantee. However, the depletion of Russia's gold reserves illustrates the opposite - centralization has become a point of vulnerability. Vanar Chain represents a new paradigm that decentralizes the power of storage and value circulation from centralized institutions to a global network. Each transaction is secured with cryptography, and the ownership of each asset is confirmed through smart contracts, with the entire system not relying on the commitments of any state or institution. This is a more open, efficient, and creative architecture for a globally valued Internet. Its formation arises from a deep understanding of the failures of traditional systems.Status and Market ProspectsCurrently, the performance of VANRY (the ecological token of Vanar Chain) in the market reflects investor sentiment. According to the latest market data (data update time: 2026-01-31), the current price of VANRY is $0.01, with a 24-hour change of -7.25%, and a 24-hour trading volume of $871.18K, along with a circulating market capitalization of $13.90 million. Behind this data is a market reassessing the infrastructure of on-chain assets. Although short-term fluctuations are inevitable, Vanar Chain's deep layout in two main tracks of RWA and digital entertainment forms long-term value support.

Why Payments Complete AI-First Infrastructure AI agents do not use wallet UX like humans. They require global, automated, and compliant payment rails to complete transactions independently. Without a payment system, AI can only execute logic—not participate in the real economy. Payments are a prerequisite for AI-ready infrastructure. AI-first blockchain must support machine-to-machine payments, real-time settlement, and integration with real-world economic activities, not just demos or proofs-of-concept. $VANRY positioned to support real economic activity, with a payment layer designed for automation, scale, and production use of AI. Not an AI narrative, but infrastructure that is truly used by AI. Payments are not an additional feature— payments are the foundation that enhances AI-first infrastructure. @Vanarchain $VANRY #Vanar
Many blockchains today claim to be AI-ready, yet still focus on demos, agent showcases, or surface integration. However, true AI does not stop at executing logic—it must be able to create real value. This is where payments become the often-overlooked foundation, yet are actually the most crucial. AI Agents Do Not Use Wallet UX AI agents are not human. They do not open MetaMask, sign manual transactions, or manage seed phrases. AI requires: Machine-to-machine payments
