Building on your momentum! As we move through January 2026, the Walrus ($WAL) ecosystem is shifting from "early hype" to "durable utility." Here are a few key highlights to keep the "building" energy high:
· Verified Progress: Walrus recently achieved a significant milestone by surpassing 4PB (Petabytes) of stored data since its mainnet launch, proving the network can handle massive, real-world datasets.
· Performance Breakthrough: Technical updates in early January 2026 revealed that Walrus is now achieving millisecond-level response times, making it a viable decentralized alternative to centralized cloud providers for social media and streaming dApps.
· Developer Surge: Over 70+ partners are now building on Walrus, utilizing new Q1 2026 features like "XL Blobs" and stable, USD-denominated pricing to keep costs predictable for startups.
· Strategic Integration: The Sui Foundation’s recent launch of a verifiable AI economy framework uses Walrus as its primary decentralized storage layer, securing auditable data trails for AI agents.
· Community Rewards: The energy on Binance Square remains high with the CreatorPad campaign running until February 6, 2026, where creators can still earn a share of 300,000 WAL for their contributions.
The roadmap for 2026 is focused on multi-chain support, allowing developers on Ethereum and Solana to plug into Walrus storage while keeping their smart contracts on their preferred chains. @Walrus 🦭/acc
