Walrus is redefining the way decentralized storage works. This protocol uses the token $WAL as a means of payment, with the biggest highlights being low cost and high usability, making it especially suitable for scenarios that require handling AI models and extremely large files.

From a product logic perspective, Walrus addresses the pain points of traditional storage—high costs and low efficiency. With it, building data markets becomes much more feasible. Whether for individual developers or enterprise applications, data can be stored and accessed more economically.

As AI applications explode in growth, the demand for storage capacity and access speed will only increase. Protocols like Walrus, which are decentralized storage solutions, could be a key part of future data infrastructure.

Lower costs are true, but what about the inflation pressure of $WAL? No one mentions this.

Is it just about low cost? --- $WAL has indeed ridden the AI wave this time, but how long it can last is a question. --- Decentralized storage is making a comeback. How will they survive this time? --- Hmm... It looks promising, but I don't know how it performs in actual operation. --- It's another innovation in economic models, but what about the product itself? --- Wait, with such fierce competition in the storage layer, what gives Walrus the confidence to beat Arweave and others?

Low cost is an attraction, but how many can truly be implemented? Let's wait and see.

Low cost is indeed attractive, but how many projects can actually be used? Let's wait and see how the ecosystem develops. --- Storage of AI models is truly a necessity. Whether Walrus can really be cheaper than centralized solutions remains to be seen. --- Another project solving storage issues. The market is crowded, and the key is who can survive until the end. --- How is $WAL's tokenomics? It seems to be the real factor that determines life or death. --- Basically, it's just reworking the storage concept. I would only consider migrating if it can be cheaper by over 50%. --- Will enterprise applications really use decentralized storage? Consider the risks. --- If it can truly reduce storage costs, there might be real potential in the data marketplace. --- Starting to hype the storage concept again. Will this time work?

Low cost and high usability sound good, but I'm worried it might just be another hype around a worthless coin.

I believe in the low cost, but how many projects can actually be used? It still depends on ecosystem development; otherwise, no matter how cheap it is, no one will use it.

I believe in the low cost aspect, but whether it can truly keep up with AI's crazy data appetite when in use... that's the key.
