Actually, my expectations for projects like Walrus have never been high, but on the other hand, having low expectations can help see its true value more clearly. There are many applications in the Web3 community, but the real challenge is finding reliable infrastructure. WAL's position in this ecosystem is very clear—it is just a tool, not a hype project.

In terms of user experience, Walrus feels understated but becomes more intuitive the more you use it. That sense of 'low-key but useful' is actually already halfway to success for infrastructure. Being able to operate stably, not cause trouble, and truly solve problems may have a greater significance for the development of Web3 than those projects that shout slogans.

Hmm, Tool Person project. Anyway, I don't expect it to scam me, as long as it runs stably, which is indeed valuable.

That's right, infrastructure needs to be focused on and developed steadily; don't always think about just harvesting quick gains. The truly usable products are often underappreciated, while those shouting slogans every day are the ones making noise. Projects like Walrus, which are low-key, are what Web3 truly needs. Many so-called "revolutionary applications" ultimately fail due to poor user experience. WAL seems to have found the right direction. However, stability still depends on long-term performance. It's a bit early to say success is guaranteed at this stage.

Infrastructure should be like this—quietly operating is the best form of marketing. I'm actually convinced by WAL's style; it's rare to see genuine expectations without hype. Honestly, it's much more reliable than those projects that boast every day. That said, who is actually using it... how's the user base? This is what Web3 truly needs—down-to-earth.

Low-key projects are often the real deal, I agree with that. Exactly, infrastructure should be like this—if it works, that's all that matters, no need for nonsense. Walrus, which relies on strength rather than marketing, is actually more solid. Those who shout every day are usually just talk and no action. Stability is the key, everything else is nonsense. Only by actually using it can you tell if it's good or not; armchair strategizing is meaningless. This is what Web3 needs—a project that works steadily and reliably.

Low-key infrastructure is the real treasure. There's nothing wrong with that statement. Being stable and easy to use is valuable; it's much better than hype. It's really about understanding the underlying logic of an ecosystem thoroughly; everything else falls into place naturally. Projects like Walrus, I didn't take seriously at first, but after using them, I understood.

Lower expectations can actually help see through the essence, and I agree with that. But how stable is Walrus really? Can it handle high traffic? The infrastructure side has indeed been hyped up too much, with a bunch of gimmick projects pretending to be Web3 and messing around. Walrus, which works quietly behind the scenes, is actually harder to evaluate. Things that are modest and unpretentious often last the longest, that's no lie. The only concern is that after the funding runs out, they might start resorting to various marketing tricks. That's right, as long as it works, no need to fuss. It's much better than those projects that are constantly doing event marketing.

Honestly, very few people truly care about infrastructure; everyone is thinking about the next 100x coin... But projects like Walrus, which work diligently behind the scenes, are actually more worth watching. Low-profile projects are often the ones that survive the longest. Why does no one understand this? Tool-based projects are like that—once you use them comfortably, you don't want to switch. They're much more reliable than those who spend all day issuing tokens and doing marketing. Indeed, what Web3 truly lacks is this kind of non-dramatic infrastructure. Wake up, everyone. Stability outweighs hype—that's something builders should understand. Instead of waiting for the next concept hype, it's better to invest in foundational infrastructure and these "boring" things.
