I didn’t notice @Walrus 🦭/acc because it was loud. I noticed it because people were using it quietly, without trying to sell it. That usually says more than any announcement.
At first, I lumped it into the usual “decentralized storage” bucket. Big promise, mixed results. But over time, what stood out wasn’t buzzwords — it was resilience. Data on Walrus doesn’t just exist… it persists, even when someone might prefer it didn’t.
That matters more than we admit. Platforms get blocked. Servers disappear. Access gets throttled. When you’ve seen that happen in real life, censorship resistance stops being theoretical.
I still have questions about long-term adoption. Storage only works when people trust it with real data, not demos. But the fact that Walrus keeps showing up in actual workflows makes it hard to ignore.
Not convinced yet — but definitely watching.
And in crypto, that’s usually the first signal.
