Walrus keeps a low profile but its execution speaks volumes. Having raised $140M with a valuation hitting $2B, backed by Mysten Labs, this project has crystal-clear ambitions: build decentralized storage infrastructure that actually works at scale in production environments.

Competing against established players like Filecoin and Arweave presents a real challenge. That said, the market tells a different story. As blockchain adoption accelerates, demand for reliable, decentralized storage keeps climbing. Projects solving this bottleneck are positioned well. Walrus appears to be betting on this momentum, focusing on practical implementation rather than hype.

Walrus's low-key style is quite interesting, unlike some projects that keep shouting about how awesome they are all day long. Raising 1.4 billion USD and quietly getting things done—that's the true mark of professionalism.

Walrus is low-key but reliable; this is truly a genuine powerhouse. Compared to projects that boast every day, I trust the ones that actually get things done...

I prefer projects that work quietly; they are much more reliable than those that boast all day long.

Walrus is low-key, but a 2b valuation plus an additional $140 million in funding really doesn't seem low-key. It feels a bit ironic, but it’s definitely more solid than those projects that shout about it every day.

I like Walrus's low-key style; it's not like some projects that boast every day. A valuation of 14 billion and 2 billion, with Mysten Labs backing it up, really shows some strength.

A low-key beast, with $1.4 billion in funding and a $20 billion valuation, really has something.

NGL Walrus being low-key is the right approach; no matter how loudly you boast, you still have to get down to real work.

Low-key projects often stand out the most... A valuation of 1.4 billion USD but without much publicity. This kind of restraint is reminiscent of the early Ethereum vibe.
