Identity data on the chain is becoming an irreversible trend in Web3. But the problem is—decentralized identity credentials often face three tricky challenges: secure storage, on-chain verification, and cross-platform invocation. These seemingly independent issues are actually interconnected.

Walrus's approach is quite interesting: developing a dedicated storage solution for DID scenarios, compatible with mainstream identity protocols like ENS and CyberConnect. The real-world data from a leading DID project shows that—user identity loss rate drops from 1.2% to 0, cross-platform invocation efficiency jumps by 400%, and storage costs are halved.

Market response is also very straightforward: eight DID projects are already in line to connect, three of which are top-funded projects. Since all project integrations require WAL tokens to pay for storage fees, daily consumption has surged by 300%.

From an infrastructure perspective, DID is indeed a must-have layer for Web3. If Walrus can stabilize this track, the potential for growth is quite significant. For those involved in the layout, the current progress is worth paying attention to.

It sounds like Walrus is doing something very substantial, and the data is really solid. I saw that the loss rate dropped from 1.2% to 0, which is a bit exaggerated... Is it really stable? The WAL token consumption surged by 300%, this pace does have a bit of a fiery smell. DID indeed faces bottlenecks, but whether it can truly become a necessity depends on its subsequent stability. Several leading projects are flocking in, but we also need to be cautious of scams and rug pulls.

Identity loss rate drops from 1.2% directly to zero? That data sounds a bit outrageous, is it real? WAL's consumption has surged... we need to see if it can be sustained later, or it will just be a flash in the pan. The DID track indeed has urgent demand, but how far Walrus can go depends on whether the market is willing to buy in. Eight companies lining up to connect sounds like a lot, but the key is the retention rate—don't want it to turn into another wave of cutting leeks. This idea is indeed innovative, but is the technical barrier for storage solutions really that high? Worth keeping an eye on.

Another infrastructure project is selling a story, and the data looks a bit too good to be true. But from the ledger perspective, the surge in WAL token consumption is real, we’ll see if this hype can be sustained. There is indeed a lack of people in the DID space, but will Walrus also just be a flash in the pan? The identity loss rate dropping directly to 0—feels a bit suspicious, this data is too perfect. Eight projects are lining up to join, which sounds impressive, but how many are truly active? Let’s wait and see after things settle down; infrastructure stories are especially easy to tell right now. Saving half the storage costs sounds good, but the key question is whether there are other pitfalls waiting.

This data is indeed impressive, with the identity loss rate dropping from 1.2% directly to 0? That's a bit too perfect. WAL's consumption volume has surged dramatically, it feels like waiting for the peak of the integration wave, betting on the fact that tokens will need to be burned daily in the future. DID's essential needs are not a problem, but I'm just worried that Walrus is only a passing guest. Having many projects in the queue doesn't necessarily mean a strong ecosystem; the key is how long the retention rate can last. It feels like another old trick of the "infrastructure narrative," let's see how it actually lands. This kind of all-compatible solution, the more middle layers there are, the higher the risk; decentralization might actually become more centralized? A 400% efficiency increase across platforms—how exactly is that calculated? It could easily turn into a marketing figure. Having many early-stage projects onboarded is bullish, but it feels a bit like mysticism.

Identity loss rate drops directly to zero, this data is really impressive, it feels like if it's not hype, it truly hits the pain point --- WAL tokens consumed 300% more in a single day, how many people are using it? It's a bit scary --- Cross-platform call efficiency has increased fourfold? If it can really stabilize, the DID track definitely has potential --- The question is whether Walrus can maintain it; infrastructure projects are most afraid of failing at critical moments --- 8 projects are queued for integration, 3 of them are top-funded; hmm, this lineup is decent, has some substance --- Storage costs are halved, user experience has improved again; this is the true approach to solving the problem --- However, in the DID field, I've heard too many "revolutionary solutions" over the past few years; let's see next month's data before drawing conclusions --- Identity verification indeed hits a bottleneck; if Walrus's solution really works, the future potential is huge --- From the data alone, it's quite shocking, but in practical application, it still depends on how long the ecosystem can sustain --- Have ENS and CyberConnect both been integrated? If so, this ecosystem closed-loop will be complete

The identity loss rate has directly dropped from 1.2% to 0. This data is a bit too perfect; we need to see if it can be maintained steadily. WAL token consumption surged by 300%. It looks good on paper, but we need to ask whether the actual demand is really that strong. DID is just a trap. Even if storage is solved, cross-chain compatibility still needs to be addressed. Walrus is just another intermediary layer. Eight companies are lining up to connect, which looks lively, but will leading projects really be locked in by a single storage solution? How is saving half of the storage cost calculated? What benchmark is it compared to? It feels a bit vague. The urgent need for the DID track has been overused. The key is to have real users willing to pay.

ngl, this DID infrastructure play is like watching someone finally figure out the right seasoning ratio... walrus got the recipe right but let's see if they can keep the kitchen from burning down. those numbers are *simmering* nicely tho 👀

Identity loss rate is directly reset to zero, this data is a bit outrageous, is it real or fake? WAL's surge in consumption is probably aimed at the token price, right? Is DID really such a strong necessity? I feel like only a few people are playing with it. It's true that top projects are lining up to integrate, the track has indeed gained popularity. Storage costs are halved, so the previous projects must have lost a lot. I think it's mainly because more ecosystem protocols are needed to drive growth; a single solution can't produce such rapid growth. The WAL token payment system is essentially a token consumption mechanism in disguise, got it. Is it a bit late to enter now? There are already 8 projects.

Oh, here comes the DID story again, this time from Walrus's side. The identity loss rate has dropped from 1.2% to 0? Just listen, real-world scenarios are much more complex than the data. WAL token consumption skyrocketed by 300%... familiar pattern, when the access fee increases, the price has to run. Wait until it truly stabilizes, then talk. Those who are leaving now are the smart ones. This track can be successful, but it's still a bit early to enter. Just observe for now.
