Recently, I took a deep dive into the Walrus project and found that it is not about hype or promoting performance numbers, but truly addressing a long-overlooked issue—data availability and storage.

The key is that it breaks down complex underlying capabilities into modular interfaces, making it easy for developers to get started. This sounds simple, but actually doing it requires a lot of skill. Many protocols are short-lived, ultimately because their infrastructure is not robust enough, and they are abandoned after two uses.

So when I look at $WAL , my thinking is a bit different—it’s not betting on short-term hype, but laying the foundation for the next wave of applications. Which projects can last long often depends on whether this underlying reliability can be truly integrated into the ecosystem, rather than just marketing prowess.

Honestly, infrastructure projects are always the slowest to make money but tend to last the longest. This time, if Walrus can truly improve the developer experience, ecosystem accumulation will be the real indicator. It depends on how many projects actually adopt it after half a year; otherwise, it's still just air. Modular interfaces are indeed the way to go, but in Web3, a lot of projects that promised this have already died haha. However, compared to those who boast about performance metrics every day, I’m more interested in seeing how sticky Walrus’s customers are. I'm usually cautious about coins that rely on national fortune, unless ecosystem data can prove themselves.

Really, infrastructure is often overlooked. Everyone is focused on quick wealth from trading coins, and projects that can calmly focus on this kind of work are indeed rare. Looking at Walrus's approach, it's quite solid, but honestly, modular interfaces are truly tested when they are implemented within the ecosystem. Historically, many protocols have loudly proclaimed such slogans, but many of them were eventually forgotten. So I will first observe user retention before making a decision. Without real application integration, everything is just theoretical.

It's that kind of real infrastructure project again. These types of things are the easiest to overlook because they lack explosive growth points... However, they do fit my "Negative Alpha Research" approach. Infrastructure that is steadily abused indeed lasts a long time.

Speaking of Walrus, this approach is indeed unique, truly focusing on building infrastructure. --- Fundamental robustness > marketing hype, I agree with this judgment. --- Modular interfaces are brilliant; developers using them without hassle is the way to go. --- Many cryptocurrencies are just fleeting trends; ultimately, it's the poor infrastructure that leads to failure. --- $WAL This idea is correct, paving the way for the next wave of applications, not just short-term hype. --- Stop selling just the numbers; projects that can truly last rely on this kind of reliability. --- Walrus is doing something thankless, but this is what the ecosystem needs. --- It's easy for developers to get started, which is indeed key to ecosystem expansion. --- Whether the protocol is stable and whether the ecosystem can truly integrate it—this is the real dividing line. --- Compared to those projects that boast about performance all day, Walrus's approach is much more pragmatic.

This is the true infrastructure mindset, unlike some projects that keep shouting about performance metrics all day long. To be honest, Walrus's modular design is really comfortable; developers don't have to suffer through complex underlying systems. Protocols that don't last more than two years die like this—because the infrastructure is too weak. I'm still observing $WAL, but at least this approach isn't stupid.
