hi beautiful

Decentralization only works when the incentives are real and built to last. That’s the core of Walrus’s economic model. They’ve capped the supply at 5 billion WAL tokens—1.57 billion are already out there as of January 2026. The way they split things up actually puts the community first: 43% of tokens go to community reserves, unlocking slowly through 2033. Core contributors get 30%. Users and subsidies each get 10%, and just 7% goes to investors who backed the $140 million funding round.

Staking’s a big deal here. You keep your tokens in your own Sui wallet—no third-party middlemen, no extra risk. Right now, more than 15% of all WAL is staked. You earn rewards each epoch, but you’ve got to play by the rules or you’ll face penalties. Everything’s enforced on-chain, no exceptions. Governance isn’t just for show, either. If you’re holding WAL and staking, you actually have a say—stake-weighted votes determine key stuff like how long each epoch lasts or what it takes to run a node. That keeps control spread out and the network honest.

This isn’t just another crypto fad. Walrus has been powering over 200 nodes and handling 2TB of mainnet storage since March 2025. WAL isn’t just a token—it’s what makes payments, delegations, and trustworthy data markets possible for anyone building the next generation of the web.
