Friends who have been in Web3 for a long time know that while the storage track is stable, there has always been an 'old problem': slowness. Traditional storage protocols can handle old cold data, but faced with today's streaming media, high-frequency interactions in SocialFi, and AI large models, the performance bottlenecks are simply maddening. Today, let's talk about the highly discussed @Walrus 🦭/acc in the tech community and see what gives it the courage to challenge its storage predecessors.

1️⃣ Logic Reconstruction: Say Goodbye to 'Redundant Heaviness', Welcome 'Extreme Agility'

Most storage protocols rely on mindless copying of replicas, which is very safe but extremely wasteful and inefficient. #Walrus introduces more advanced erasure coding technology. In simple terms, it doesn't copy files; it 'reduces the dimensionality' of files into fragments.

In the crypto world of 2026, stablecoins have undoubtedly become the core pillar of cross-border payments and digital finance, but high Gas fees, slow settlements, and congestion issues still deter many users. The Plasma Layer 1 public chain launched by @Plasma fundamentally addresses these pain points—it is specifically designed for stablecoins, achieving zero-fee transfers for USDT, @1-second block confirmations, and over 1000 TPS performance, while maintaining full EVM compatibility, allowing developers to seamlessly migrate existing contracts.
Unlike the universal public chain's 'jack of all trades' design, Plasma deeply optimizes the protocol layer for payment orientation: a custom Gas token mechanism, institutional-level security, and support for privacy transactions, making stablecoins not just assets 'stored on the chain' but truly capable of circulating globally like fiat currency in an instant and at low cost. Imagine this: cross-border remittances, merchant payments, DeFi lending, RWA settlements... all scenarios can operate on Plasma with almost zero friction. So far, Plasma has absorbed billions of dollars in stablecoin TVL, becoming one of the fastest-growing networks in the stablecoin ecosystem.

“At the intersection of traditional finance and blockchain, balancing privacy and compliance has always been the most challenging pain point. Dusk Network, built by @Dusk has achieved this — as a Layer-1 public chain designed specifically for regulated financial markets, it natively supports zero-knowledge proof (ZK) privacy smart contracts, allowing transaction data to remain hidden from the public while still meeting the audit and compliance requirements of EU regulations such as MiCA, MiFID II, and DLT Pilot Regime.
Unlike many public chains that add privacy features after the fact, Dusk has built privacy, instant settlement, and regulatory friendliness into its core from the ground up. Whether it is issuing compliant security tokens, tokenizing real-world assets (RWAs), or enterprise-level DeFi applications, Dusk enables institutions to operate on-chain without sacrificing privacy. Imagine: traditional assets like high-net-worth assets, bonds, and fund shares circulating, trading, and settling on-chain in a programmable and privacy-preserving manner, significantly reducing intermediary costs and instantly opening up global liquidity.

As blockchain applications evolve from mere asset trading to content socialization, gaming, and large model training, decentralized storage is becoming an essential infrastructure. In this field, @walrusprotocol, launched by Mysten Labs, is redefining the efficiency and security of data storage with its unique technical solutions.

1. What is the Walrus Protocol?

Unlike traditional distributed storage, Walrus is a decentralized storage network specifically designed for raw data and asset-intensive applications. It can handle vast amounts of unstructured data (such as images, videos, PDFs) and achieve extremely fast data reading and verification speeds through deep integration with the Sui ecosystem.

With the explosion of Web3 applications, we face a huge challenge: how to store a large number of high-definition images, videos, and massive datasets on the chain? Traditional storage solutions often struggle with cost or efficiency, and this is where @Walrus 🦭/acc shines.

1. What is the Walrus Protocol?

#Walrus is a new type of storage network designed by Mysten Labs specifically for decentralized applications (dApps) and data-intensive workloads. Unlike traditional storage methods, it utilizes innovative Erasure Coding technology, which can split large files and store them distributed across the entire network.

Core Highlights: Token burn drives value enhancement
$IDOL Tokens receive significant good news! On January 30, 2026, MEET48 officially announced the completion of the second "MEET48 Best7: Stage of Light" voting event's token burn, burning a total of 8,698,560 $IDOL at once, accounting for 30% of the total event revenue. This strategic move directly reduces the circulating supply of tokens, providing strong support for the value of IDOL.
The burn data details show that the total voting yield reached 28,995,200 $IDOL, accounting for 0.604% of the total supply, while this burn amount of 8,698,560 $IDOL accounts for 0.181% of the total supply.

Early this morning, the cryptocurrency market was in turmoil, with over $1 billion evaporating, and panic continues to spread.
Early this morning, the cryptocurrency market encountered a sudden storm. Bitcoin plunged over 5%, falling below the $85,000 mark, with a low of $84,425; Ethereum plummeted nearly 7%, breaking the crucial support at $2,800.
This crash has caused over 220,000 investors to face liquidation, with a total liquidation amount reaching $1.014 billion (approximately 7.05 billion yuan).
Panic quickly spread throughout the entire cryptocurrency market, with mainstream coins like SOL and Dogecoin seeing declines of over 6%. The total market value of cryptocurrencies briefly fell below the $3 trillion mark. This crash is the result of a confluence of multiple negative factors, with the Federal Reserve's hawkish signals being the last straw that broke the camel's back.

The current Layer 2 track is incredibly competitive, everyone is talking about various Rollups. But to be honest, have people almost forgotten about #plasma ? As a technology solution that was once highly regarded by Vitalik, it was indeed neglected for a long time due to data availability issues, but recently I noticed the movements of @Plasma , and it feels like this matter is not that simple.

The current Plasma is different from before.

Many people's impressions are still stuck a few years ago. But the current $XPL system is actually undergoing a revolution of 'old wine in new bottles'. Previously, people complained about the complex exit mechanism of Plasma and its inability to run smart contracts, but the current technical route has gradually addressed these major flaws through optimizing state validation and cross-chain communication.

In today's world where Layer 2 solutions are blooming, many may believe that Rollups have dominated the track. However, with the volatility of on-chain interaction costs and the surge in demand for data availability (DA), the Plasma architecture has once again returned to the center of technical discussions with its unique 'off-chain computation, on-chain settlement' mechanism.

Rather than saying it is a review of old technology, it is more accurate to say that it is a profound revolution in scalability.

1. Lightning-fast transactions and ultra-low costs

The new generation solution promoted by project account @Plasma greatly lowers the interaction threshold for users through highly optimized state compression technology. For high-frequency traders and on-chain game developers, this not only enhances speed but also expands their survival space.

The global financial market in early 2026 is truly surreal; on one side, it's a raging fire and on the other, it's a frozen wasteland. Gold and silver prices are skyrocketing, with spot gold breaking through 1175 yuan per gram, and even silver has risen over 30%, marking the most intense market in nearly 14 years.
The Web3 ecosystem and the Bitcoin market on the other side have continuously faced severe setbacks. However, behind this seemingly completely disconnected trend is actually a phase of capital rotation between different assets, which is part of the market's self-regulation, rather than a signal of a complete collapse on one side.

I know many ordinary investors have questions about why gold and silver have suddenly become so desirable, and why the previously glorified Bitcoin, dubbed digital gold, has seemingly lost its charm.
