I've been thinking for a while about how storage will evolve in Web3, and honestly, what @Walrus 🦭/acc is doing left me thinking quite a lot. We always focus on coin prices, but we rarely look at the underlying infrastructure, and that's where I believe this project could surprise us.
Basically, what @Walrus 🦭/acc proposes is that we can store extremely large files without relying on the usual servers everyone knows (and that sometimes fail or censor us). What caught my attention about $WAL isn't just that it's fast, but that it's designed so developers don't have to struggle with extremely high costs.
For those of us trying to figure out where the market is heading in this 2026, #Walrus seems like one of those 'hidden gems' of infrastructure. It's not your typical two-day hype project; you can tell there's real utility behind it. Sometimes I get tired of seeing so many memecoins, and finding something with a serious technical proposition like $WAL is truly appreciated.
Obviously, like everything in crypto, you have to be careful and keep researching, but at least I already have it on my priority tracking list. I'm interested in seeing how the network behaves when more people start uploading massive content.
Has anyone here already tried the protocol or has any technical questions? It would be great to exchange opinions because I'm still diving deeper into some aspects.
I'm reading!
