Walrus is redefining Web3 data storage in an innovative way. Traditional storage solutions often face high costs and low efficiency, but this project achieves a secure sharded storage solution through RedStuff erasure coding technology. Even smarter, the introduction of Quilt's small file packaging feature has directly lowered storage costs to a new industry low. This combination naturally attracts a large influx of developers and project teams.

From an ecosystem governance perspective, the design of the WAL token is worth noting. It is not only essential for node staking but also allows holders to participate in ecosystem governance decisions, influencing the project's development through voting. This design gives the community real voice and avoids the drawbacks of centralized decision-making.

Considering the rapid growth momentum of the Sui ecosystem in recent years, Walrus, as a core data infrastructure layer within it, has considerable growth potential. As more applications go live in the Sui ecosystem, data storage demands will continue to rise. In other words, the prospects in this direction are still worth looking forward to.

Lowering costs is indeed a powerful move, but how many practical applications can actually be implemented?

Walrus's combination punch really has some substance; RedStuff plus Quilt directly brought down the costs, but how much can actually be implemented still depends on subsequent applications. WAL's governance design sounds very promising, but the real power of community voting remains an issue. In the Sui ecosystem wave, storage demand is definitely a necessity; it all depends on whether Walrus can truly secure this position. RedStuff's erasure coding has been around for a long time; the key is whether it can create differentiation. Is the team reliable? That's what I care most about. No matter how good the technology is, if the team isn't capable, it's all useless. Lowering costs to a new industry low? That kind of claim makes me a bit cautious; we need to see how it's calculated. The Sui ecosystem is indeed hot, but storage is not exclusive to Walrus; competition will be fierce. The idea of bundling small files is good, but I don't know how effective it will be in practice. We'll see after it goes live.

Cut costs to a new low? That's what I want to see, don't do so much empty talk. Speaking of the Sui ecosystem, this wave of rise is indeed fierce. If Walrus can seize this opportunity, it will be stable. The governance design of WAL looks good, but it still depends on how well the subsequent execution is. RedStuff erasure coding technology is indeed innovative, but is it really that safe? I'm interested in small file packaging. How much can the costs be saved? The node staking requirement is here, and the value support for WAL still exists. But don't be blinded by hype; focus on practical application and implementation. I'm curious which projects in the ecosystem are already using Walrus. Suddenly remembered those storage projects from before, how are they doing now... If this set of technology can really run smoothly, it is indeed a good choice for the infrastructure layer.

Damn, Walrus's combo punch is really awesome, the cost has been directly lowered, now it's just up to whether developers buy in or not. By the way, I'm a bit worried about WAL's governance design. Do community votes really work, or are they just for show? The Sui ecosystem is so hot right now, storage demand will definitely explode, but there are also many competitors... Low cost is an advantage, but whether user stickiness can keep up is the real key.

Cost reduced to a new industry low? I believe this wave, but can the Sui ecosystem really take off? It still depends on what happens next.
