When it comes to the Web3 data storage sector, Walrus and Filecoin are often compared. The two projects actually follow quite different paths.



What makes Walrus attractive? Mainly three points—significant cost advantages, strong smart contract programmability, and low entry barriers. This combination is very developer-friendly, especially in scenarios where data storage costs are sensitive. As for Filecoin, their advantage lies in having already established an ecosystem, with a large number of storage nodes and a relatively mature application ecosystem.

Speaking of which, in the era of Web3 data explosion, who can truly succeed? It still depends on who can maximize the two core competitive advantages: cost and programmability. From a market capitalization perspective, Walrus is currently only about one-tenth the market cap of Filecoin. What does this mean? Some see the risk, others see growth potential. The market’s valuation gap may hide a lot of imagination behind it.

Damn, Walrus's cost advantage is really impressive. I've had my eye on it for a while. Although the Filecoin ecosystem is well-established, who dares to say it will win in the future? A tenfold gap is huge. If Walrus truly breaks through... In terms of programmability, Walrus definitely has an edge. Let's wait and see who will be the last to laugh.

Is a market cap difference of ten times necessarily a sign of imagination? I think, more often, it's just that some people haven't run out yet. Walrus is cheap, but the ecosystem can't be built on paper alone. At least Filecoin is still alive, and that's enough.

Walrus has only one-tenth of the market cap? The potential is incredible, it feels like it's about to take off.

Walrus this wave indeed has a chance; the overwhelming cost advantage is no exaggeration. One-tenth of the market cap is actually more attractive, indicating that the Filecoin premium has already been fixed. Wait, can programmability really compete? It depends on how practical the applications are. Even if the FIL ecosystem expands again, it can't withstand the cost disadvantage; concessions are inevitable.
