@Walrus 🦭/acc didn’t arrive as a quiet science project—it raised serious capital ahead of mainnet, then had to prove it could ship. Mainnet went live March 27, 2025, and the protocol kept adding the unglamorous stuff: better tooling, better auth, better paths for developers to publish and serve data. WAL’s story only works if the network keeps working.
Walrus’ 2025 recap reads like a maturity check: less novelty, more default reliability. The 2026 direction is about making Walrus feel effortless and making privacy a normal expectation, not a special feature. That’s the kind of infrastructure you only notice when it fails—so the real win is boring success, paid for in WAL and protected by design.
