Walrus Protocol mainnet launch has been approaching one year, and as an explorer in the decentralized storage field, performance during this period directly relates to the project's long-term sustainability. From an ecosystem perspective, the construction progress is quite solid.

Currently, over 170 projects have been built on Walrus infrastructure, covering multiple tracks including Web3 identity verification, data analytics, AI applications, and media storage. Among them, Humanity Protocol has created a decentralized identity layer providing reliable identity verification for users; data intelligence platform Arkham leverages Walrus's storage capabilities to improve its own data processing workflow; Akord has attracted over 120,000 users to migrate for document and media storage needs. The implementation of these applications demonstrates that Walrus's technical solution can indeed solve practical problems.

There's also momentum on the developer side. The "Breaking the Ice" hackathon attracted over 200 participating developers, with projects like DriftBottle (decentralized messaging tool) and SuiPet (on-chain digital pet) emerging with imaginative potential. This shows that the ecosystem still has appeal for developers. The project's sponsorship policies continue to gain traction, providing momentum support for ecosystem expansion.
