Walrus is the kind of project that looks “simple” until you realize most onchain apps still depend on one centralized server for the heavy stuff. The transactions are decentralized, but the images, game assets, documents, and datasets usually aren’t. That’s where apps break. That’s where users leave.
Walrus on Sui is built for blob storage: storing large files off chain, but in a decentralized way. It splits data into pieces and distributes them across many nodes using erasure coding, so files can still be recovered even if some nodes go offline. In plain terms, it’s aiming for cheaper storage, better resilience, and less censorship risk than relying on one provider.
From a trader’s view, WAL isn’t interesting because it exists. It’s interesting only if usage becomes consistent. I watch three signals: paid storage demand, real app integrations, and reliable retrieval under load. If those improve over time, WAL starts behaving like an infrastructure token tied to actual activity, not just sentiment.

Dusk Network’s Quiet Edge in Web3
Most blockchains compete loudly on speed, TPS, or hype narratives. Dusk takes a different path. Its real edge is building privacy that actually works for real markets.
With confidential smart contracts and selective disclosure, @Dusk_Foundation lets transactions stay private by default while remaining verifiable when needed. That balance matters for institutions, regulated assets, and serious DeFi use cases that can’t operate on fully transparent ledgers.
Dusk isn’t trying to replace every chain. It complements the ecosystem by solving a problem most projects avoid: how to move value on-chain without exposing sensitive financial logic.
That quiet focus on infrastructure over noise is exactly why Dusk feels built for long-term adoption, not short-term attention.

Most protocols chase liquidity.
@WalletConnect is chasing utility.
Right now, their core focus is onboarding real builders and real applications that depend on large files, media, AI datasets, and persistent on-chain content.
Not store a JPG.
Think: decentralized cloud for the next generation of apps.
They’re positioning Walrus as the place where serious data lives gaming assets, AI models, DePIN content, everything that doesn’t fit inside a normal blockchain.
Quiet execution. Heavy foundations.
Sometimes the strongest moves don’t make noise.

🚨SHOCKING: TRUMP’S GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN DELAYS JANUARY JOBS REPORT
$UAI $STABLE $RIVER
The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) announced that it will not release the January jobs report this Friday. This comes as a direct result of the partial government shutdown triggered under Trump’s administration, leaving economists, investors, and policymakers in the dark about the state of the labor market.
Normally, the Non-Farm Payroll (NFP) numbers give crucial insight into U.S. employment, wages, and economic health. Without this data, markets could become more volatile, as traders will lack guidance on hiring trends, wage growth, and unemployment rates. Analysts warn that this uncertainty could impact stock markets, interest rate expectations, and Federal Reserve policy decisions.
This delay highlights the real economic consequences of political gridlock. Companies, investors, and everyday Americans will now wait longer for clarity, while the government shutdown continues to cast a shadow over the U.S. economy. The question now is: how long will this data blackout last, and what surprises might the jobs report hold when it finally drops?
We are excited to highlight a series of major milestones from the past month. Imperial College London has officially joined us as our inaugural European university partner, and we have welcomed NTT Digital to the network as a global validator. On the technical front, the MCP server has successfully launched, while our EdgeCloud APIs are now accessible via RapidAPI, placing these tools within reach of millions of developers. Additionally, the proposal for TDROP 2.0 has passed. There is much more on the horizon.

🔥 $BTC LIQUIDATION HEATMAP (1 YEAR) 🔥
A massive long liquidation cluster is sitting in the $66K–$73K zone.
That’s the danger area.
If price sweeps this zone, we could see a chain reaction of liquidations — stop hunts, forced selling, and accelerated downside.
Right now, that pocket of liquidity is the market’s biggest target. Whales see it. Algorithms see it.
Let’s hope we hold above it.
Because if not… things could get ugly fast. 👀
Watch the levels, not the emotions.
