Walrus Protocol's decentralized storage solution has recently attracted a lot of attention. The core appeal is straightforward—storing a 10GB personal file costs 20% less than traditional cloud drives, and paying with WAL tokens can enjoy an 80% discount. This is definitely worth calculating for heavy users.

On the technical level, hot and cold data are automatically adapted with redundancy mechanisms to ensure availability while reducing costs. The operational logic is similar to Baidu Cloud, but the underlying architecture has been replaced with a decentralized one—meaning your data sovereignty is in your own hands, and no one can arbitrarily access or restrict it.

The complete experience of the WAL ecosystem is gradually maturing, from incentive mechanisms to user interfaces being optimized. If you're interested in sovereign storage, this is indeed a direction worth trying.

Huh, a 20% discount and then an additional 20% off? That number sounds a bit exaggerated. Why do I feel it's a little too good to be true? Sovereign storage is indeed attractive, but I'm just worried that when it comes time to use it, there might be some issues. 百度云 (Baidu Cloud) always limits the speed; if only I could switch to a decentralized alternative, I’d give it a try. But I need to first figure out whether WAL coins will drop drastically again before I dare to invest. It sounds good, but the key is whether the ecosystem is truly active. Are there many users now, bro?

20% cheaper and still get a 20% discount? Wait, is this math right? Let's wait until it really launches. The ecosystem is still too new. Sovereign storage definitely has potential, but can the user experience be as smooth as Baidu Cloud? That's the key. Auto-adaptation of hot and cold data sounds good, but I'm worried about node stability.

20% cheaper really doesn't attract me that much; the key is whether the data is truly completely autonomous. Will WAL this coin turn out to be another pyramid scheme? I'm a bit worried. Just operate it like Baidu Cloud, as long as it doesn't run away one day. How is the stability of this thing? Can it guarantee that my files won't be lost? If I want to pay with tokens, I still have to buy WAL, which is a bit troublesome. Sovereign storage sounds good, but are there many people actually using it?

A 20% discount is indeed interesting, but the key is whether the WAL token is stable.
