Recently, I discovered an interesting project in the Sui ecosystem storage track—Walrus Protocol. It seems to have hit the pain points of Web3 storage perfectly.

Honestly, I’ve tried quite a few on-chain storage solutions before, and the experience was really disappointing. Either the costs were ridiculously high, or the speed was painfully slow, and handling small files was very inefficient. This project uses RedStuff encoding technology to do something different—reducing storage costs to about half of the original, and thoroughly optimizing the packaging of small files, making the upload experience significantly smoother and more seamless.

From a token perspective, the $WAL design isn’t just a pure speculative tool. The staking mechanism is decent, providing continuous reward income—like earning passively. Even more interesting is the community voting rights; token holders can participate in decision-making about the ecosystem’s direction. This mode truly treats users as stakeholders, not just a simple capital pool.

Currently, ecosystem applications are integrating quite quickly, and the DApp ecosystem is expanding. Whether for pure token holding or participating in node operations, it seems there are opportunities to benefit from this wave of dividends. The Sui ecosystem has been quite active over the past two years, and the capacity of the storage track is being redefined. If you’re interested, it’s definitely worth paying attention.
