At first, I honestly wasn’t sure why @Walrus 🦭/acc kept popping up on my radar.
Storage isn’t exactly a sexy topic in crypto. We’ve all seen “decentralized cloud” pitches come and go. Most of them sound good, then quietly fade when nobody actually uses them.
What I noticed with #Walrus is that it didn’t try to act revolutionary on day one. It showed up more like infrastructure. Quiet. Slightly boring. But persistent.
Once I spent some time digging, it started to click. Walrus isn’t really about tokens or hype cycles. It’s about putting large data somewhere that isn’t AWS, isn’t Google, and isn’t one government order away from disappearing. That matters more than people admit, especially for DAOs, AI teams, and apps that can’t afford to lose data or trust.
I like that it lives on Sui. Fast, cheap, and actually usable. The blob storage idea feels practical, not theoretical. You can imagine enterprises slowly testing it without making a big announcement. That’s usually how real adoption starts.
That said, one thing still bothers me. Storage businesses live and die by reliability and habit. Convincing teams to move critical data off centralized systems isn’t just technical. It’s psychological. Walrus still has to earn that trust over time.
I’m not all-in. But I’m watching. Projects like this don’t explode overnight. They quietly grow — or they don’t. And that’s the interesting part.
