I find this project Walrus quite interesting. Unlike those star applications in the market that constantly shout about wanting to disrupt this or revolutionize that, it seems at first glance to lack any 'bombastic points.' However, if you think a little deeper, in this moment of data explosion and the surging demand for AI, a reliable, user-friendly storage layer that is not tied to a specific chain is actually a very practical need.

I think their approach of being 'chain agnostic but prioritizing deep integration with Sui' is very clever. It's like building a house; instead of making bricks and tiles from scratch, they first found a solid and modern-looking foundation (Sui) and focused on constructing the best storage model room on top of it. By doing this, they can quickly provide decent and performance-satisfactory products for developers in the early stages, which is much more pragmatic than those protocols that start from the consensus layer and spend years developing their mainnet without launching. Once this model room matures enough and gains a good reputation, there will naturally be space to unleash the potential of being 'chain agnostic.' This is more grounded than talking about grand visions from the outset.

What makes me feel it has long-term value is actually its aim to solve the fundamental issue of 'data trustworthiness.' Especially when combined with AI, how can we trust the suggestions given by an AI model in the future? If the sources of its training data and processing can be stored on-chain as a verifiable 'credential' like transaction records, such as @Walrus 🦭/acc , then the foundation of trust becomes much more solid. It aims not to be a simple file backup but to become the anchor point of 'facts' in the future digital world.

The value of such underlying protocols needs time to prove and is highly dependent on the prosperity of the entire ecosystem. It is a typical 'slow burner' that requires patience. However, in an industry atmosphere that generally pursues quick, short-term results, the willingness of some to tackle these fundamental and challenging issues is itself a value proposition worth paying attention to. I will continue to observe and hold my position #walrus $WAL .
