In 2026, what new opportunities will the Sui ecosystem迎来？I think the keyword is "data storage."

Traditional views regard blockchain only as a ledger, but the situation is different now. With the help of Walrus protocol, Sui is evolving into a true "distributed hard drive"—large files are being stored on-chain, turning dreams into reality with low cost, high speed, and strong security. Smart contracts can also manage the entire storage lifecycle.

What does this mean? From several dimensions: decentralized content platforms (permanent storage of videos and articles), AI data trading markets (on-chain verification of data sources), privacy social applications (encrypted photo storage), Web3 game asset libraries (permanent preservation). Any of these sectors' explosion will require underlying storage infrastructure.

WAL, as the network's唯一燃料token, its practicality is directly reflected in usage: higher storage demand → more fuel consumption → more obvious token deflation; more staking participants → stronger network security. The current price is still adjusting, but from the fundamentals, this is a典型的「利好未充分反映」阶段.

Sui's upcoming privacy feature upgrades and free transfer optimizations will further amplify storage需求. Missing this cycle might mean waiting for the next one.
