The capital flow pattern during the mid-term bull market is actually quite clear: public chain rotation -> ecosystem infrastructure catch-up -> application layer takeoff. SUI has already emerged, so who will be the key player in the ecosystem next?
The market is desperately searching for projects that have both real business support and genuine token consumption scenarios. Taking a quick look into the SUI ecosystem, players like Walrus in the storage track are hard to ignore.
Let's examine its logic from the perspective of token economics:
**Essential consumption side**: To store data, you need to buy tokens—this is a hard requirement, not just fluff.
**Staking deflationary mechanism**: Storage nodes must stake tokens to take on orders; the larger the data volume, the higher the staking demand. As data continues to grow on-chain, the tokens in circulation are constantly being locked up. This is the real deflationary flywheel—not through destruction, but through business expansion that naturally generates demand.
**Governance value**: Major holders will inevitably hoard tokens to gain influence over their data storage parameters and rules.
Compared to the current market cap of Filecoin and Arweave, you'll see how much the valuation of this track still has a huge gap. Instead of blindly chasing meme coins that gain popularity through hype, it’s better to quietly focus on infrastructure projects with real business support while market attention is still on AI concepts.
Those who truly understand know that the secret to longevity is to withdraw during the hype and lay low during the quiet times—that’s the key to lasting success.

Walrus's logic is indeed quite interesting; real business support is definitely more reliable than those purely speculative schemes.

tbh the tokenomics angle here is solid, but let me be technically rigorous for a second—conflating "data growth" with guaranteed deflationary pressure is... premature at best. the staking mechanism proof of concept needs actual on-chain verification before we start calling it a flywheel.

The logic of Walrus is indeed solid: essential storage + staking deflation. It's many times more real than those projects that are purely conceptual.

Wow, storage has indeed been underestimated, Walrus has a complete logic loop...
Wait, isn't this the story of Filecoin all over again? Why is it happening again?
Is the Walrus project reliable? Has anyone participated?
Is the SUI ecosystem really that strong? It doesn't seem to be that popular.
I've been lurking for a while, just waiting for this track to explode.
Are there actual orders for the token consumption side? Don't tell me it's another air project.
Deflationary flywheel sounds great, but will the data growth really be that fast?
Forget meme coins, infrastructure is more reliable. Let's stick to hard currency.

Wow, the storage sector has indeed been seriously underestimated. Walrus's consumption logic is much more solid than most projects.

The logic of walrus is indeed solid; the deflationary flywheel driven by data growth and staking demand is much more credible than simple burning.
