Many Web3 projects are now promoting the concept of decentralized storage, but very few have actual applications. Recently, I compared several leading projects, and Walrus Protocol left a quite different impression on me—it hasn't been hijacked by hype trends, but instead is steadily focusing on the core issue of data availability.

Honestly, from a technical perspective, this approach is clearer. Whether $WAL can truly realize its value ultimately depends on whether real application demands come in, which is unavoidable. Instead of following the trend and chasing hot topics, I prefer to slow down and observe carefully to see if this project can make a name for itself in the field of data availability.

Being diligent in doing things is indeed rare; most projects are just about hype and concepts. If data usability can truly be implemented in practice, it’s worth paying attention to.

ngl, the whole "decentralized storage" narrative feels like we're watching benjamin's "mechanical reproduction" thesis play out in real time... except everyone's just copying the whitepaper without understanding the underlying primitive

⚠️ DYOR on that data availability claim tho... walrus protocol's smart contract audit reports out yet? not financial advice but i've seen this "core technical problem" narrative before and it usually precedes some nasty exploit vectors. address the actual MEV protection mechanisms first then we talk.

Take your time to watch. Addressing real needs is the key; without that, everything else is pointless.

Is it the same decentralized storage approach again, or is this time really different? --- Speaking of data availability, someone really needs to take it seriously, but there are too many hyped projects in Web3. --- Whether $WAL has practical applications is the key; everything else is just virtual. --- I've seen too many projects hijacked by hot trends; actually focusing on doing solid work is becoming rare. --- We need to wait until real users come in to see clearly; it's a bit early to draw conclusions now. --- Taking a slow and cautious approach is correct, but competition in this field is also fierce. Whether Walrus can stand out remains to be seen. --- Not hyping concepts is a plus, but the market still needs to see returns.
