The value of a protocol is only as strong as its tokenomics. For $WAL , the design is focused on long-term sustainability and aligning the interests of users, storage nodes, and stakers. The total supply of 5 billion tokens is strategically distributed, with a significant portion dedicated to community reserves and subsidies to ensure early adoption is affordable. @Walrus 🦭/acc
However, the real excitement lies in the burn mechanism. Every time a user pays for storage or bandwidth, a portion of the $WAL used is permanently removed from circulation. As the network grows and more "Blobs" are stored—from NFTs to enterprise backups—the deflationary pressure on $WAL increases. In Q1 2026, we are seeing a surge in network activity that is testing these economic boundaries. When you stake your, you aren't just securing the network; you are participating in a system where usage directly impacts the scarcity of the native asset. #walrus
