WAL has fallen significantly from its all-time high. When market sentiment is poor, projects like this are most easily overlooked. But upon closer inspection, there are actually very few storage projects that are truly actively working. Walrus is different — on-chain data is running, and real applications are also in progress, not just empty talk.

Recently, I’ve heard that many developers are migrating from Arweave to here. This kind of movement is not just casual talk. If the Sui ecosystem continues to accelerate, it will be very difficult for anyone to bypass the storage track. The downturn is precisely when it’s easy to be forgotten, but it’s also when forward-looking people are making their moves.

The downturn is really a test for projects; those that are still diligently developing are worth paying attention to. Moving from Arweave to here, developers won't run away without reason—think about what that means yourselves. Walrus is indeed working hard, unlike some projects that only release press releases every day; see the data on the chain. It's time to buy the dip in visionary projects; low-position deployment is the key. The storage sector is so cold that it's actually an opportunity; projects that truly get things done will ultimately prove their value.

It's just a slump, anyway. Those armchair projects should have died long ago. Walrus is indeed doing real work, unlike some who just shout slogans every day. Whether the developer跑路 is true or not remains to be seen, but there are indeed migrations from Arweave to Sui, which indicates... the ecosystem's potential is there. It'll be too late to regret once Sui really takes off. Those who are bottom-fishing now should be feeling pretty good inside.

The downturn is a good time to get on board; I understand this logic. Developers coming from Arweave won't deceive you, which shows that Walrus indeed has something.

The downturn period is the true test of faith. Developers shifting from Arweave to here won't leave without reason. This matter must be understood clearly.

The downturn is a good time for accumulation. The fact that Arweave's people are moving to Walrus is indeed noteworthy. Wait, are there really developers migrating, or is it just some KOL storytelling again? If Sui can succeed in the storage track this round, it's hard to imagine there will be any other options.

Here we go again, every time they say "the downturn is the time to lay out," I actually believed it last time, and now I'm still paying off debt. Developer migration sounds good, but can you really trust the collateralization rate? Honestly, it still depends on whether the ecosystem has real, necessary applications. Walrus data is indeed running, but while it's running, I'm more concerned about when it will generate actual profits... Could it be another Ponzi scheme? I've heard too many of these "visionaries are laying out plans" arguments. Haven't you learned enough from the painful lessons of losing money?
