When discussing decentralized storage, many people focus on performance metrics and cost figures, but I think there's a more critical point that's often overlooked—the usability of the data.

My impression of Walrus Protocol is different. It doesn't seem to focus on questions like "how long can it store data," but rather on how to make the stored data effectively accessible and transferable. This is the key factor that determines the viability of a storage solution.

As for $WAL, to me, it serves as an observation window—watching how this project evolves, how many real users and application scenarios it can attract. The token itself is secondary; what's crucial is whether real applications come in later and what kind of ecosystem can be built. Actual adoption is the ultimate validation standard.
