The market has experienced multiple cycles of ups and downs, and users are gradually seeing one thing clearly — flashy stories may attract attention, but how far a project can go ultimately depends on its core strength.

Take Walrus as an example. This protocol was not designed with a "bold and unconventional" approach. Instead, it emphasizes security and transparency — using smart contracts to enforce rules, reducing trust black boxes in the process. It may not sound glamorous, but what does clear and verifiable rules mean for participants? It means you know exactly what you are doing, and how the ecosystem operates is also crystal clear.

Speaking of the WAL token, it’s not just a simple incentive tool. Governance rights, community collaboration, participation mechanisms — all are connected through the token. In other words, users shift from passive recipients of information to roles where they can truly voice their opinions and participate in protocol evolution. This sense of involvement is crucial for long-term projects; it determines community stickiness.

Looking at the entire market, when the emotional curve begins to stabilize, the truly shining projects are often not those creating hype, but those diligently building their infrastructure. Walrus is steadily moving forward in this way, leaving ample room for ecosystem growth. With enough patience over time, the answers will naturally surface.
