2025 marked Walrus's shift from testing to tangible impact. Key highlights include:
Ecosystem Growth: Walrus powered diverse dApps, such as Cudis Wellness for user-owned health data, Alkimi Exchange for verifiable ads, DLPLabs for EV data markets, Talus Labs for AI agents, and Myriad Markets for transparent prediction markets. Partnerships with projects like Pudgy Penguins for NFT storage and integrations with Pipe Network (for latency reduction) and Baselight (for data monetization) expanded its reach.

Protocol Upgrades: Features like Seal introduced native encryption and programmable access control, while Quilt optimized small-file storage, saving millions in $WAL costs. These enhancements improved upload reliability and developer tools.
By year-end, Walrus had processed terabytes of data, with over 1 billion Wal staked and real adoption across 100+ nodes. However, challenges like the Tusky publisher shutdown highlighted the need for seamless migrations, which Walrus supported through alternative publishers like Zark Lab and Nami HQ.
