Many people expect visibility to come first and adoption to follow, but infrastructure projects often work the other way around. They build quietly, attract users who actually need the service, and only later gain wider attention. Storage networks are a good example of this pattern because their success depends on reliability, not marketing.
Walrus appears to be moving through this quieter phase by focusing on practical storage problems. Large file handling, long term access, and dependable availability are not flashy topics, but they are essential for real world use. When a project delivers on these fundamentals, it can slowly earn trust from builders and users.
For $WAL, this approach creates a different type of opportunity. Instead of reacting to short term hype, the token becomes connected to steady ecosystem growth. That kind of growth is harder to see on a daily chart, but it often leads to stronger foundations over time.
I am watching whether @Walrus 🦭/acc continues to prioritize function over noise. If it does, adoption can grow naturally, and attention usually follows real utility sooner or later.
