The Sui ecosystem storage infrastructure is releasing a large-scale incentive signal. As the core storage layer of this ecosystem, Walrus Protocol has recently launched a new support program, directly offering 300,000 WAL tokens as participation incentives. This time, the gameplay is interesting — a "guaranteed minimum" mechanism is set up, meaning there are no entry barriers, and participants will receive basic rewards simply by joining. For active players at the top of the leaderboard, there’s also a chance to win an extra airdrop worth up to 500U. In simple terms, "the foundation is guaranteed, and the upper limit depends on your strength."

Why is this incentive action worth paying attention to? Walrus’s role in the Sui ecosystem is actually very core — it already handles over 70% of data storage needs for NFT, blockchain games, and AI projects. These data are continuously consumed through its storage operations using SUI tokens, forming a deflationary feedback loop that positively drives the overall ecosystem liquidity. From a tokenomics perspective, 53% of the total supply is allocated for community incentives and staking rewards, a distribution ratio that is quite community-friendly among similar projects.

On the technical side, Walrus’s Quilt storage feature reduces the cost of small file storage by over 400 times. What does this mean? It means on-chain data storage has shifted from a high-cost barrier to a practical, usable infrastructure. The purpose of this large-scale airdrop is clear — to incentivize users to try out this system with tangible rewards, accelerating data accumulation and sedimentation within the ecosystem.

For participants, this is both a window to capture early incentives and an opportunity to gain a first-mover advantage during the expansion of the Sui ecosystem. The event is now live, and interestingly, the design that participation yields immediate benefits ensures that later users also have a guaranteed chance to receive basic rewards.
