The revenue sources of the Walrus protocol's WAL token are quite clear: one is staking rewards, and the other is storage service fees. How are staking rewards calculated? They are based on the amount you stake and the duration. Storage service fees are paid by users, with 70% flowing to node operators, effectively incentivizing participants across the entire network.

What’s most attractive is the settlement method—automatic daily settlements directly credited to the wallet, and operators can withdraw at any time. This stable and transparent income mechanism has attracted over 100,000 node operators worldwide, and the ecosystem is growing rapidly. For those considering operating nodes, this predictable income model is indeed appealing.

The automatic settlement every day is really amazing, no need to wait around. --- 70% flows to the node operators, what about the remaining 30%? Are the project team taking it? --- A hundred thousand node operators... this number sounds outrageous, is it real? --- How is the staking period calculated? Is the long-term lock-up yield higher? --- Stable and transparent sounds good, just worried about potential face-changing tricks later. --- I want to ask if it's too late to enter now, whether it's already a trap set by the whales. --- I like the ability to withdraw at any time, but how much of the gas fee can eat into the profit? --- Another seemingly perfect model, but I always feel something's off.

100,000 nodes sound impressive, but have you calculated the actual operational costs?

70% flows to nodes? That's a pretty good ratio, and it's not about cutting leeks.

70% flows to nodes? That's a pretty good ratio. Automatic daily settlement sounds comfortable, but I'm just worried they might cause some trouble later. 100,000 node operators... the ecosystem's success still depends on whether they can retain people. The staking reward logic is clear—it's basically betting that the coin price won't drop later. Can the actual returns be as good as the promotional materials say? Have you experienced it yourself?

Automatic daily settlement? Now that's the real feeling of getting paid.

This 70% allocation ratio is really attractive, directly taking business away from other storage projects. --- Automatic daily settlement? This really saves lazy operations a lot of trouble. --- 100,000 nodes operator... this number is growing a bit too fast, need to observe whether the momentum can keep up. --- The staking period wasn't explained clearly. Does anyone know the maximum lock-up duration? --- Stable and transparent returns, I've heard this many times, but the key is whether the coin price can hold up. --- Withdrawing at any time sounds great, but I'm worried about liquidity issues one day. --- Is the storage demand real or just ecological self-hype? That's the real concern. --- They also need to clarify the costs of running nodes; they only talk about income, not costs. --- Compared to other storage coins, this distribution method is indeed more straightforward, but it still depends on whether the actual storage business volume can support it.
