There is a harsh truth in the crypto market: emotions always lead logic. During a bull market, everyone seems like a trading expert, but when a bear market hits, projects start to disappear one after another.

In contrast, Walrus's approach is quite interesting. It doesn't choose to maintain hype through noise, but instead relies on a "constant online" presence that seems low-key but establishes a sense of existence. At this stage, this has become a rare quality.

Many projects' lifecycle designs are inherently flawed—either relying on a bull market explosion or completely lying flat during a bear market. Walrus's logic is entirely different; it serves long-term users. Instead of focusing all efforts on creating short-term excitement, it considers how to enable participants to have things to do, a sense of involvement, and expected returns across different market cycles. Most importantly, it aims to leave users with a reason to stay.

From a user experience perspective, Walrus is more like a "supportive ecosystem." You don't need to monitor charts daily or chase various hot topics frequently. The ecosystem offers a pace that allows for gradual participation, enabling assets to continuously operate within the system rather than being driven by market emotions. This design essentially fights against market irrationality.

The WAL token plays a crucial role in the entire system. It is not a token that is only mentioned when prices surge, but a connector that runs through various ecosystem activities. Whether participating in ecosystem development, supporting new projects, or as part of long-term allocation, WAL acts as a "linker." This sense of connection may seem ordinary, but over time, its value will gradually become apparent.

Another easily overlooked point is Walrus's design for long-term user retention. This is not only reflected in its features but also in its adaptability across different market stages. A truly good ecosystem should enable users to have things to do during a bear market and not fall behind during a bull market.
