Among the many infrastructures in the Sui ecosystem, Walrus Protocol has attracted considerable attention with its unique storage solution. As a decentralized storage service native to the Sui chain, it primarily regulates the market supply and pricing of storage resources through the $WAL token.



What is the core competitive advantage of this mechanism? First, the permanence of storage and real-time retrieval capabilities; second, significantly lower costs compared to traditional cloud storage services. For application scenarios that require high availability and censorship resistance—whether it’s NFT metadata storage, DeFi protocol data snapshots, or content hosting for decentralized social platforms—Walrus can provide enterprise-grade reliability.

It is especially noteworthy that it is deeply integrated with Sui’s Move smart contract ecosystem, which means developers can directly invoke these storage services within on-chain applications. As the Sui ecosystem continues to develop, the market performance of $WAL as a value carrier for storage resources is indeed worth watching.

WAL-3.55%

Permanent storage + low cost, sounds good, but the real question is whether it can be stable? Can WAL outperform Arweave? That’s the key. Is the Sui ecosystem hot or not? Will Walrus be hot or not? It’s a bit too tightly bound. Integrating Move contracts is indeed impressive, but whether developers will use it is another matter. I am skeptical about the promise of permanent storage—who can guarantee it will still be around in ten years? Price is a killer feature, but the ecosystem isn’t big enough. How to compete? Honestly, it’s a gamble on whether Sui can surpass others. If Sui sinks, WAL will be finished.

Permanent storage + low cost, this combination really has some potential --- The storage solution in the Move ecosystem, directly accessible by developers... this is truly blockchain-friendly --- Whether $WAL can take off depends on whether Sui can deliver; no matter how advanced the infrastructure is, it still needs an ecosystem to support it --- It sounds reliable at an enterprise level, but with so many pitfalls in decentralized storage, can it really run stably? --- Censorship resistance + low cost, if this really works, it would be incredible. The hype is starting to sound a bit exaggerated --- Contract directly accessing storage service? Isn't this just adding a database on-chain? Still, it's a bit creative --- Walrus's NFT metadata hosting is quite a good niche; let's see how they refine it later

Permanent storage + low cost, this combination really has some potential --- I believe in the Move ecosystem integration; development experience is the key --- Whether $WAL can take off depends on whether the ecosystem applications truly use it --- Censorship-resistant storage sounds appealing, but what about the actual adoption rate? Are there any data? --- Another storage concept, how is Arweave doing? --- Recently, everything on the Sui chain has been getting attention; need to keep an eye on it --- Enterprise-level reliability guarantees? What about centralized services? --- Direct on-chain calls sound convenient, but what about the gas costs? Not mentioned --- NFT metadata storage isn't that urgent, overthinking it

Walrus sounds good, but can it really beat Arweave?

ngl walrus feels like the farm-to-fork verification we've been waiting for in web3... permanent storage = proof-of-freshness for your entire dapp menu, no cap

The idea of permanent storage is indeed imaginative, but how is the liquidity of $WAL right now?

Permanent storage + low-cost listening sounds good, but how long can the $WAL token economic model last? The biggest fear in this battlefield is that demand can't keep up with supply. When the supply line is cut off, it's back to square one.
