WAL Token & Token Sale
💼 Token Generation Event (TGE)
Walrus did not hold a traditional ICO as seen in earlier crypto eras. Instead:
The project raised funds via a private token sale (not public ICO) before launch, with about $140 million raised, led by Standard Crypto and participation from major investors like a16z Crypto, Electric Capital, Franklin Templeton Digital Assets, and others. �

This private sale was mainly aimed at institutional/backer funding, not a widespread public ICO event.
