Many storage projects hype themselves up, but in reality, you find out that developer experience often falls short. Walrus is different — it is clearly designed based on real-world application scenarios.

The most intuitive feeling is: it’s not just about piling up storage capacity, but about thoroughly thinking through the entire data management, access, and verification process. For applications that require complex data interactions, this kind of controllability and clarity is really crucial.

Ultimately, for Web3 applications to truly grow and strengthen, it still depends on these practical, engineering-oriented underlying projects. $WAL, which may seem like less glamorous infrastructure, is actually a long-term direction worth paying attention to.

yeah most storage projects are just vapor anyway... walrus actually thinking about developer friction? that's like finding a unicorn at this point ngl. the whole "we built actual infrastructure instead of marketing" thesis is so tired yet keeps printing money lmao

To be realistic, storage needs to be implemented in practice; there's too much talk without action. In fact, Walrus's approach is correct—it's reliable and useful without relying on hype. Infrastructure may be boring but profitable, and this is the true path of Web3.

This is real work; those storage projects that only boast should have been shut down long ago.

ngl most storage projects are just vibes and broken promises until devs actually try to build on them. walrus seems to actually think about real problems tho—like, genuinely engineered from use cases instead of tokenomics first lmao

Always watch people hype up storage solutions, but in the end, they all turn out to be a mess... Walrus really put in genuine effort this time, not just hype. Developer experience is the key, everything else is empty talk. Infrastructure projects are always underestimated; you'll see when the bull market arrives. Practical usability > hype and noise

It's the same old story, mostly just self-comfort during the bottoming phase. If $WAL is really so awesome, why hasn't it taken off yet?

Finally, someone hit the nail on the head. Those projects that boast about capacity every day are really annoying. Walrus, being pragmatic, is the real way to go. --- Developer experience is indeed the Achilles' heel for most projects, to the point that I don't even want to get involved anymore. --- Infrastructure may not be glamorous, but it's the moat. In the long run, it's all about these fundamentals. --- Relying solely on piling up capacity is outdated. You need to think through the processes thoroughly. Walrus truly has some skills. --- I just like this kind of solid project—no hype, directly solving problems with hardcore solutions. --- To put it simply, the old saying still holds: usefulness is the hard truth. I am optimistic about $WAL. --- Controllability and clarity? Sounds simple, but most projects can't even do this well. Truly impressive.
