Recently, I’ve seen quite a few complaints from re-staking players across major communities. The common feeling is: this stuff really can wear you out.

Imagine the daily scene. Multiple wallets, scattered across different protocols. The first thing in the morning isn’t checking the market but checking each one’s progress—how many points have been earned on EigenLayer, how are the yields on other ecosystem protocols, how much gas has been spent. Sometimes, the cost of a single transaction can make your heart ache for a long time. Over time, who can keep track of the total returns? In the end, it just becomes self-soothing: “Unwavering effort for the dream.”

This phenomenon actually reflects a deeper issue: everyone is focusing on heavy operations, while neglecting management.

What is the truly smart approach? Let the protocol do the work for you.

A new idea is gaining more attention: the core logic is simple—prepare your assets (like stETH), and with one click, deposit them into an aggregation protocol. It automatically allocates to mainstream platforms like EigenLayer to earn points and yields. You only need to hold a unified certificate and glance at the ledger daily. No more switching between five or six wallets, nor constantly monitoring each protocol’s updates.

Walrus Protocol is an implementation of this idea. It fundamentally aims to solve the time cost problem for users in the re-staking ecosystem.

So, what is the significance of the WAL token? It can be seen as a pass for this “lazy person’s solution.” Holding it represents your support for the network and also reflects your recognition of a core principle: **In the crypto world, time and energy are the most scarce resources**. As the user base of this network grows and the ecosystem’s value accumulates, the token’s own value will naturally be reflected.

In other words, instead of exhausting yourself trying to be a “human aggregator,” it’s better to delegate professional tasks to professional protocols. The time and effort you save might not only lead to a more relaxed experience but also potentially better returns.

Whether this logic is correct depends on individual experiences. If you’ve also been experimenting with re-staking, why not share: what’s the most “radical” operation you’ve done to participate in re-staking? Setting alarms to grab new pools? Or other “black tech”? Looking forward to your stories in the comments.
