I remember the first time I heard about @Walrus 🦭/acc , I honestly wasn’t sure why we needed another storage protocol. Crypto is full of those. Most of them sound good on paper, then quietly fade when nobody actually uses them.
What made me keep an eye on Walrus was how it kept showing up around Sui. Not loud, not hyped. Just… there. I started digging a bit, and what clicked was that Walrus isn’t trying to be a flashy DeFi token. It feels more like infrastructure. Boring in the good way.
At first, the whole blob storage and erasure coding thing felt over my head. But when I reframed it as “cheap, decentralized storage that apps can actually rely on,” it made more sense. Especially for apps that don’t want to trust AWS forever or worry about censorship. On Sui, that kind of native storage layer could quietly become important.
What I’m watching now is integrations. If more dApps start using Walrus by default for data, NFTs, or app state, that’s real adoption. If enterprises even flirt with it, that’s another level.
My main doubt? Storage protocols live or die by usage, not promises. Competing with centralized cloud and other Web3 storage isn’t easy. Execution matters more than vision here.
Still, #Walrus feels like one of those projects that grows slowly, then suddenly you realize it’s everywhere. I’m not all-in. I’m just… paying attention.
