I recently became a fan of the Walrus project, which made me step out of the pure token trading mindset.

To be honest, this thing has a somewhat different status in the Sui ecosystem — it’s not some flashy application, but rather a decentralized storage network. The more I think about it, the more I realize that this is the kind of infrastructure that Web3 truly depends on at the protocol level.

Many people still see WAL as a trading asset, but from my perspective, its value goes far beyond that. Without reliable storage infrastructure, an ecosystem’s upper-layer applications are all hanging in the air. What Walrus is doing in this regard is somewhat like a CDN in the internet era, but more decentralized and Web3-native.

That’s why it’s worth paying attention to — not hype, but because it’s filling a critical infrastructure gap in the Sui ecosystem.
