Walrus: Comparing decentralized storage and cloud from reliability perspective
Walrus shows why blockchains don’t want to store large blobs. In state-machine replication, every validator must keep the same data to verify the same transitions, so a 5 MB blob turns into 5 MB × N replicas, plus extra bandwidth to gossip it. For rollup data availability, that overhead is pure storage tax. Cloud storage optimizes reliability under one operator: strong consistency and operator-led restores, but outages can be correlated when a region or control plane breaks. Cloud is like a well-run warehouse with one master key. The network spreads blobs with erasure coding across many nodes, degrades gradually under stress, and lets clients reconstruct and verify the original bytes even if some nodes fail, disappear, or lie.

Reef Community Report: Week of Jan 30, 2026
We launched our yearly activities by holding our first AMA, during which we reviewed our milestones from 2025 and shared insights into our trajectory for 2026.
Work on Deep Current continues through the combined efforts of Antier Solutions and our internal developers. Please see the dedicated section below for specific details on this project.
Our recently hired Developer Relations staff and Social Media Manager have successfully integrated into their roles and are actively creating new materials.
For internal testing purposes, we have released version 1.0.7 of the Reef Chain Wallet. This update incorporates a significant restructuring of the code to enhance stability and address several minor security vulnerabilities we identified.
We are currently refreshing our marketing strategy, which includes revising website text, refining our core messaging, and redefining our target audience. You will begin seeing these adjustments roll out over the coming week.
Additionally, we are assessing prospective partners that fit our technology stack, specifically prioritizing those that support the objectives outlined in the Reef 2026 roadmap.
Deep Current Development Status
We have encountered a technical issue with the most recent Polkadot SDK release involving the 1:1 mapping of REEF amounts up to 18 decimal places. To address this, we have provided the Polkadot Foundation with access to our code repository so they can replicate and repair the error. While we wait for a resolution from Polkadot, we are consulting with Antier regarding potential temporary solutions. As soon as this issue is rectified, Deep Current will immediately advance to the testnet phase.
THIS IS THE REASON CRYPTO MARKET IS DUMPING HARD 🚨
Just now, $BTC dropped below $81K while eth reached almost $2,500.
This led to almost $380 MILLION in long liquidations within 30 minutes.
The biggest trigger of this dump was the Insider Bitcoin whale.
This is the same whale who made $200 MILLION by shorting before the October 10th crash.
In the past month, the whale built over $700 MILLION in long positions.
Today, he started to close the positions during a low-liquidity weekend.
Within 10 minutes, the whale closed over $65 million in ETH long positions.
This triggered algos to close other long positions of those who were following this whale.
And the liquidation cascade started.
Now the biggest question is:
Does this whale know something, or is he dumping to buy back cheaper soon?$BTC

Building a Curated Internet, Not a Digital Landfill
Our current digital world suffers from a terminal case of hoarding. We've built systems that only know how to accumulate—more photos, more documents, more "temporary" files that become permanent burdens. The result is a bloated, expensive, and insecure internet where our most important data is buried under mountains of digital junk. The solution isn't bigger landfills; it's better curation.
This is the foundational shift @WalrusProtocol is engineering on Sui. It's moving us from an internet of infinite "save" to one of intentional stewardship. Its breakthrough is the Windowed Blob model, which treats data not as a permanent monument but as a time-bound commitment. Every piece of stored information has a clear Owner, a defined Lifetime Window, and a guaranteed Availability Term. This framework forces us to be deliberate. When the window closes, the owner makes a conscious, on-chain choice: Renew the commitment or Let it Expire. It replaces passive accumulation with active curation.
This economy of intention is powered by the **$WAL token**. It's the key for funding these smart storage contracts, staking to secure the network that enforces them, and governing the system's future. $WAL is seamlessly integrated with Walrus's private DeFi tools, creating a unified platform for managing both financial and data sovereignty.
By designing curation and expiration into its core, Walrus provides the essential architecture for a sustainable, self-cleaning web. This is the infrastructure needed for the next generation of applications—from dynamic NFTs and evolving AI models to compliant corporate systems—where the responsible lifecycle of data is as crucial as the data itself. It's how we build an internet that values quality, clarity, and responsibility over sheer, unsustainable quantity.

Investors pull $1.82B from U.S. spot Bitcoin and Ether ETFs as metals rally
Investors withdrew about $1.82 billion from U.S.-listed spot #Bitcoin and #Ether #ETFs over the past five trading days, according to Farside data, as sentiment weakened following a rally in precious metals.
Spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded $1.49 billion in net outflows, while spot Ether ETFs saw $327 million leave the funds. The withdrawals came as both cryptocurrencies declined over the past week, with $BTC and $ETH down roughly 6.5% and 9%, respectively.
The integration of @WalrusProtocol ($WAL) as the native memory layer in elizaOS V2 marks a major step forward for decentralized AI. By replacing centralized, opaque storage with verifiable, on-chain memory built on $SUI , #Walrus gives AI agents persistent, auditable, and tamper-resistant memory. This enables agents to retain context across sessions, share state with other agents, and build intelligence over time without trust assumptions. More than simple storage, Walrus becomes the core memory backbone for elizaOS, unlocking secure, scalable, and truly collaborative autonomous AI systems in decentralized environments.

What Makes Dusk Different From Privacy Coins
Most privacy coins focus on hiding transactions for individual users. That works for personal anonymity, but it doesn’t solve real financial market problems. Dusk is different. It’s not just about privacy — it’s about private execution with verifiable outcomes. Traders, institutions, and regulated products need proof, compliance, and accountability. Dusk delivers all of this while keeping transaction data confidential, smart contracts private, and selective disclosure possible. Unlike typical privacy coins, Dusk is built for markets, not just wallets.

$RAD USDT – Bearish Rejection, Breakdown Likely
$RAD printed a strong pump toward 0.39, but price faced heavy resistance and formed a clear rejection wick + lower high structure on lower timeframes. Momentum is fading and sellers are stepping in near supply.
Price is now losing the 0.35–0.36 support zone, turning it into resistance — indicating a potential bearish continuation move toward lower liquidity zones.
Volume spike at the top + pullback confirms distribution phase, favoring shorts.
📉 Trade Setup (Short)
Entry Range: 0.345 – 0.355
🎯 Target 1: 0.320
🎯 Target 2: 0.300
🎯 Target 3: 0.285
🛑 Stop Loss (SL): 0.372
🔑 Key Levels
Resistance: 0.360 – 0.380
Breakdown level: 0.340
Supports: 0.320 / 0.300 / 0.285
📊 Short Outlook
As long as price stays below 0.36, bias remains bearish. A clean breakdown under 0.34 can accelerate selling toward 0.30–0.285 quickly. Bulls only regain control above 0.38.
Bias: Bearish continuation 📉
