Data is the real gold in the Web3 and AI era. Walrus's project approach is quite interesting — instead of chasing trendy general infrastructure, it focuses on two specific issues: data availability and storage efficiency. This idea is indeed forward-thinking.

From an ecological perspective, if enough developers and applications can be attracted to connect, Walrus's potential is still considerable. After all, data storage and transfer are essential needs that Web3 applications cannot avoid. $WAL plays a dual role in this process: on one hand, incentivizing network maintainers and contributors; on the other, facilitating value transfer within the ecosystem.

Of course, the key is whether the ecosystem can truly implement practical applications. How well the roadmap progresses and how many actual projects are using it are the core factors that will determine the long-term performance of $WAL. Projects like this data infrastructure tend to be slow to heat up, but once the ecosystem takes off, the potential can be very strong.

Data storage is indeed a necessity, but whether Walrus can succeed depends on whether the ecosystem can bring in real applications. I'm just worried it might turn out to be another project with a good vision but a harsh reality...

Data storage is indeed a good niche, but on the other hand, the biggest fear for slow-start projects is that no one will use them. Hopefully, Walrus won't become just another PPT project.

Data storage has long needed someone to do it well, and Walrus's idea is indeed good. However, it still depends on real implementation; a beautiful roadmap doesn't mean much.

Data storage is indeed a necessity, but whether Walrus can truly take off depends on the ecosystem implementation. Slow-to-warm projects are easily forgotten.

Speaking of Walrus, this perspective really hits the nail on the head. However, if we are to talk about long-term optimism, we still need to wait for actual applications to be implemented.

I've seen many slow-starting infrastructures, but the key is having someone actually use them. Otherwise, even the best ideas are just armchair strategies.

Data storage is indeed a pain point, but whether Walrus can truly take off depends on whether there are real projects with actual funding in the ecosystem. Having ideas alone without applications is useless, no matter how advanced the infrastructure is.
