Speaking of Walrus, many people's attention is focused on its storage function, but the true brilliance lies in its transformative role for the entire ecosystem. No matter how high-performance a public chain is, without a stable data infrastructure, the final application will still have to compromise on user experience. What Walrus does is not just simple storage—it is actually orchestrating an ecosystem-level coordination.

Imagine when multiple applications start pushing data to Walrus, naturally forming a set of "standardized interfaces." Developers no longer need to repeatedly build storage solutions for different projects. This seemingly small step has a powerful amplifying effect within the ecosystem: new projects can seamlessly integrate with existing protocols, user switching costs are minimized, and data interoperability efficiency skyrockets. As a result, the ecosystem becomes more sticky, and the entry barrier for new players decreases.

The key is that Walrus's value grows exponentially as the ecosystem expands. Every additional application relying on it, every new data category accumulated, further consolidates its position within the ecosystem. This is completely different from other infrastructure logic—its competitive moat does not come from short-term hype or speculation, but from the network effects gradually formed through the number of applications, user base, and data accumulation.

For on-chain developers, this ecosystem pattern is actually an invisible lure: choosing Walrus means selecting a foundational infrastructure capable of long-term cooperation and continuous evolution. Over time, the network value it brings could far surpass the initial technical design.
