"ARB is falling again, like a stone. In just a few hours down 2.76%, the price is already 0.1693. Is the bottom close or are we still falling? In the last day, the maximum was 0.1772, the minimum 0.1632 — and we are almost there. The volume is normal, 61 million ARB, but it still feels like sellers are pushing. RSI at 6 is already around 38, meaning oversold conditions are slowly picking up, but for now, the chart looks sad — one red candle after another. Is anyone already buying at 0.16–0.17? Or are you sitting with popcorn waiting for 0.15? I’m looking and thinking — maybe it really will go lower. Or maybe a bounce is just around the corner. Who knows, honestly. What are you doing with ARB right now? Write, I'm curious."#Arbitrum $ARB
Vanar Chain and that fatigue when you no longer want to be your own bank
Honestly, I've been catching myself thinking more and more lately, maybe Web3 has just burned out for most people? They promised complete freedom, "you are your own bank," no intermediaries, control everything yourself. But in practice, it turned out that being your own bank is very tiring. In the short term, the effect is one thing; in the long term, I think it can be completely different.
Well, BNB has scared everyone again. It soared to 933, and now it's 858 and falling further. Down 8%+ from the peak, RSI at 8 points — haven't seen this in a long time. Support at 856 is still alive, but if it gives way — it will be sad. The volume during the dump has increased; this is not a fake drop. Someone is shouting 'buy the dip', while others are already cutting their stops. Honestly, I don't know what to do — wait for a bounce or prepare for a deeper drop. What do you think, gentlemen? #bnb $BNB
Most cloud services still sell you "gigabyte packages" meaning you pay upfront and sit there, whether you use it or not. And Walrus together with Sui made it human-friendly; you only pay for the bytes that are actually currently in your network. Right at this second. And that's it.
For IoT devices, this is simply a find. Just think about it: a sensor drops 3–4 kilobytes once an hour, and you pay pennies specifically for those 4 kB, not for a reserved terabyte that is idle 99.9% of the time. Finally, you don't have to feel like a fool who gives away money every month for "air" that you use at most 10%. It was invented very timely, honestly. For me personally, this is one of those cases where it's worth just watching.@Walrus 🦭/acc #walrus $WAL
The Internet has become eternal. And we have become quieter because of it.
Once we simply wrote what we thought. Now, before every 'publish', there is a whole internal meeting. Because everything you throw into the network can lie there forever. And not just lie there, but also resurface at the most inappropriate moment. And I believe that at the current stage, this looks quite logical.
Tokenization in logistics without privacy is probably a stillborn idea. No normal company would want to expose its suppliers, prices, or margins to competitors.
But Dusk really helps here. Thanks to zero-knowledge proofs, the entire path of the goods can be tracked from the factory to the shelf in the store. Each stage is confirmed, authenticity is visible, and counterfeits are filtered out. However, the specific details of contracts between participants in the chain remain hidden. No one sees who sells to whom and for how much.
For me, this is exactly what global supply chains critically need right now. Because without serious protection of commercial secrets, there simply will be no trust between the players. And without trust, the entire blockchain in logistics will remain just a good theory on paper. I think that what matters here is not the mechanism itself, but the consequence that can be overlooked.@Dusk #dusk $DUSK
Mistakes that do not disappear. And how it changes all of us
We now have a life where everything you said, wrote, photographed, or liked does not disappear. It lies somewhere in the cloud, waiting for its time. And this time almost always comes. I believe that at first glance, there is nothing special, but this is a deceptive feeling. I call this WALRUS for myself because now we all live under retrospective surveillance. And the scariest thing is not that someone is watching you right now. The scariest thing is that in 5, 10, 15 years, someone may open your tweet/post/story from 2017 and say, look, 'Oh, he/she wrote such things! And how are we even communicating with such a person?'
Dusk does it differently. They actively prune old data, but do not simply discard it; rather, they confirm it with short ZK proofs. This means the node does not hold onto all that gigabyte junk, but only the fresh state plus tiny proofs that everything previous was honest. I do not fully understand whether users are ready for such changes.
As a result, an ordinary laptop, even not the newest one, can easily run a full node. Without compromises in security or the validity of the history. For me, this is true decentralization, meaning you no longer need to be a data center to really participate in the network. If anyone can run a node at home over coffee. That's cool, and now this solution makes sense.@Dusk #dusk $DUSK
ZK proofs have always been considered too heavy and expensive for small payments. You know, you bought coffee for 50 UAH, and now you're sitting, waiting for the network to process your proof. Dusk approached this differently. They have bent the protocol in such a way that even coffee can now be paid for completely privately, quickly, and without astronomical fees. At first, it seemed like a trifle to me, but the longer you look, the more questions arise.
Previously, privacy was a luxury only for whales with large sums. And we want normal people to be able to just live their lives without exposing every hryvnia. Because privacy is no longer a privilege of the rich. It should be a basic thing for everyone, regardless of whether you have a million or three hundred hryvnias until payday. And I believe this is a case where it's worth just observing.@Dusk #dusk $DUSK
Responsibility smeared across the cloud. And no one can reach it
I often think about one thing lately, which I conditionally call the 'WALRUS effect'. It's like we all gradually become walruses on the ice, sliding without leaving almost any traces, and no one really knows who is to blame when something goes wrong. At first glance, it seems unremarkable, but it’s a deceptive feeling.
Instead of sitting and waiting for the regulator to decide to check something, Dusk simply embeds all these compliance rules directly into the token itself. That is, the token itself understands what this person can do and what this one cannot, because the license does not allow it. And that's it, the process runs automatically. Right now, this solution makes sense. It really alleviates the main headache for businesses, no longer needing to maintain an army of lawyers, and no need to manually check each individual a hundred times. Money and time are saved tremendously. I think this is the very future we all dreamed of, that is, when the law simply works by itself and quickly, regardless of anything, without a bunch of intermediaries and "arrangements". Fair and automatic. I really hope to live to see such a time. This is the case, I believe, when it’s worth just observing.@Dusk #dusk $DUSK
In the future, it will be very difficult to convince someone of something like, for example, "Yes, this video is real, I did not edit it." I will say that we will talk about the conclusions a little later.
If you immediately throw the hashes and metadata into Walrus after filming, you get a kind of digital chain that is almost impossible to undermine. Each frame essentially receives its own passport, "I was exactly here, exactly then, and no one touched me." When you can no longer trust your eyes, the only thing you can still trust is mathematics. It does not lie, does not get tired, and does not take bribes. This is a separate topic that we still need to figure out. @Walrus 🦭/acc #walrus $WAL
Finally, a blockchain where you can play big and not reveal your positions
Recently, many people have been talking about privacy in crypto, but few are actually doing anything useful for serious money. DUSK Network is one of those projects that emerged just when it became clear that public blockchains are good for memes and speculation, but not for normal finances, and at this current stage, it seems quite logical, I believe.
Thousands of languages simply disappear because there is nowhere to properly preserve them with all the intonations, songs, conversations, gestures, laughter in the voice. Without audio and video, it is no longer a living language, but a mummy. Here I believe that the mechanism itself is not important, but the consequence, and this can easily be overlooked. But if a global initiative based on Walrus were really launched, it would be like a digital Rosetta Stone, one that would not crumble into sand after two thousand years. Everything would lie forever, accessible, in full volume.
Sometimes it's nice to imagine such technologies that we are currently creating for memes and cats, which tomorrow will save what people have preserved for millennia simply by passing it from mouth to mouth.@Walrus 🦭/acc #walrus $WAL
Dusk is currently testing a cool thing; in my opinion, it’s very interesting. He floods the network with thousands of fake transactions. Just garbage, noise, small transfers back and forth that look almost real. Your real transaction gets lost in all of this, like a needle in a haystack, except the haystack is also moving. Even if someone connects the most powerful computer and all sorts of algorithms, he will just go crazy trying to figure out what’s real and what’s fake. Because everything is mixed into one mess. I like this idea precisely because it’s so audacious. I think there’s no need to hide quietly, but rather to turn up the full volume and calmly say, "Well, try to find it." Dusk is really doing something new in terms of privacy, not just another mix, but a different approach. It’s really cool how DUSK does this.@Dusk #dusk $DUSK
In decentralized networks, deleting something is generally a separate adventure. Usually, once you post it, goodbye, it spreads across all nodes, and you have to live with it.
But Walrus is trying to do something for us so that you can get a proper cryptographic proof that the file is indeed deleted everywhere, without tricks and hidden copies. This is especially important when it comes to medical data or very personal things. The right to be forgotten is therefore not just a nice slogan; it is sometimes a matter of security and peace of mind. Because we have already gotten used to the fact that nothing disappears forever on the internet. But the ability to really, irrevocably delete this, you know, is probably a luxury we have long forgotten about.@Walrus 🦭/acc #walrus $WAL
DUSK — this can really become such a point, after which you can never go back. You know, once everyone thought that blockchain was total transparency, all transactions in plain sight, and that's what makes it reliable. And now DUSK Network comes and tells us, "How about we make it so that you decide who sees what?" And this is not just a marketing move; the rules of the game are really changing.
When several thousand people suddenly flood into the metaverse and everyone starts to spin, break, build something at the same time, the data simply goes off the chain. The chaos is complete. And personally, I don't fully understand if users are ready for such changes. Walrus was invented precisely for this, so that these gigantic objects, entire chunks of the world, synchronize almost instantly, without everyone experiencing a slideshow. Without such a foundation, no "scalable worlds" will work. But with it — you enter a location where there are no longer 8–10 newbies, but hundreds, thousands, and no one experiences less than 3–5 fps. People simply live there, instead of waiting for the picture to load. Finally, the virtual world stops being that funny lagging crap from the 2000s. Maybe a normal life inside will really begin. This is a very reliable foundation, but how everything will actually unfold will only be shown by time. @Walrus 🦭/acc #walrus $WAL
DUSK makes it so that your failures are only yours. Is this good or scary?
Earlier, when someone made a foolish investment or just wasted money on a hype, everyone saw it. Forum members laughed, Twitter tore it to shreds, journalists wrote 'another fool lost a million.' And this visibility somehow kept people in check. Not that everyone became saints, but they still thought twice before doing something 'maybe it's not worth the risk, because then it will be embarrassing.' And I think this is not the classic scenario we are used to.
Plasma never felt like something complete. More likely, it was perceived as a process. You kind of know that the end has not yet come, and it can change, which annoyed some people. In Web3, they got used to doing things differently, confirming something and moving on. But Plasma left a feeling of an open story. Perhaps it just did not try to pretend that everything in the systems was final and forever.@Plasma #Plasma $XPL
