What’s stood out recently is Walrus shifting from “interesting new infra” to something builders actively architect around. @Walrus 🦭/acc is already live on Sui mainnet, and teams are starting to treat decentralized storage as a core design choice rather than an afterthought. $WAL supports a network optimized for large, unstructured data—the kind that appears once applications move past demos into real media, gaming assets, and data-intensive features.

The key distinction is efficiency: data is spread across independent nodes without heavy replication, allowing costs and reliability to scale in a more predictable way. As activity on Sui grows, centralized storage increasingly looks like a short-term convenience with long-term drawbacks. Walrus seems aligned with this stage of adoption—where real usage, not narratives, starts to pressure-test infrastructure. #walrus
