The era of manually scanning each blockchain for the highest yields is quietly coming to an end. Moving forward, the yield aggregators that truly stand out will be those capable of processing full-chain data in real-time and possessing intelligent decision-making capabilities.

Projects like Walrus Protocol are paving the way for this kind of "yield intelligence." By building decentralized data networks, DeFi strategies can simultaneously access real-time liquidity data, lending rates, and oracle prices across the entire ecosystem, including EVM-compatible chains, Solana, Move-based chains, and more—ensuring accurate validation and millisecond-level updates.

This is not just about improving efficiency. Precisely capturing cross-chain data means the probability of discovering Alpha opportunities increases dramatically, while risk mitigation methods become more sophisticated. The protocol incentivizes nodes with tokens to provide high-quality data, creating a virtuous cycle.

As DeFi inevitably moves toward chain abstraction and cross-chain fund flows become the norm, the data layer will become a battleground. Securing a position in this core infrastructure early might be the next opportunity.

The logic of laying the data layer is correct, but can Walrus really provide stable high-quality data? Seems like we need to wait a bit longer. --- It's the same full-chain aggregation approach again. It looks good, but how many truly effective Alpha opportunities are there? --- Decentralized data networks sound great, but how long can node incentives be maintained? That's a question. --- The era of chain abstraction has indeed arrived. It's still the right move to preemptively position in infrastructure. --- Milliseconds-level updates sound great, but what about the overall costs of gas fees and slippage? Have you calculated? --- There are many projects like this, all saying the same thing. Only a few have actually been successfully implemented. --- Unified cross-chain data processing—will risk hedging also be collectively exposed to risks? --- Feels like we're back to the 2021 "Aggregator Revolution" tune, but this time with a different data packaging.

The data layer is indeed the next hot spot, but whether Walrus can withstand the current competition remains to be seen. Cross-chain data updates at the millisecond level sound impressive, but it's uncertain whether the actual implementation will be compromised. Securing infrastructure in advance is the right move, but the problem is that everyone entering now has to go through a round of testing.

The data layer is indeed the next hot spot, but to be honest, there are so many projects promoting Walrus now, how many of them will actually survive until next year... I won't say much, but it's definitely worth paying attention to.

Another "revolutionary" data infrastructure, I have to admit, there are so many of these projects that I'm mentally exhausted. Millisecond-level updates sound great, but how many can truly generate stable profits? That said, it's definitely worth paying attention to.
