Walrus Protocol's token distribution has a detail worth considering. 10% of the allocation is dedicated to airdrops and community incentives. At first glance, it seems like simple money distribution, but in fact, it is building a complete flywheel mechanism for the network's cold start.

Early users who join the testnet and node operators holding WAL tokens have a completely different nature—these are not ordinary tokens, but early proof of network ownership. When the mainnet officially launches, these proofs will transform into two things: one is governance rights, and the other is tangible staking yield streams.

For node operators, it's more straightforward: the amount of tokens accumulated directly determines your say in the network, and the distribution of dividends follows accordingly.

My understanding of this logic is as follows: Walrus aims to quickly establish a decentralized token holder network. For ordinary investors, this opportunity is not just about quick gains—it is the only entry point to cut into the future Web3 data infrastructure track at the lowest cost.
