Recently, while researching the underlying infrastructure of Web3, I found that many projects are stuck on a key pain point—data storage and verification. The Walrus protocol is specifically designed to address this issue.

Its core logic is actually not complicated: using a distributed approach to store and verify data. Compared to centralized solutions, it significantly improves security and stability. Especially when the entire ecosystem is booming, the importance of this type of infrastructure will become evident.

From a token perspective, the role of $WAL in the network will become increasingly clear. As more applications emerge, the amount of data that needs to be stored will grow, and the demand for this kind of infrastructure will naturally increase. It’s a bit like the "utilities"—water, electricity, and gas—in the Web3 world—often overlooked but indispensable. Currently, not many people pay attention to them, but their prospects are worth looking forward to.
