Have you ever wondered how secure personal data really is on the internet? From social media to cloud storage, centralized platforms control our privacy but occasionally reveal leak scandals. Meanwhile, the tokens in our hands are slowly depreciating, and there seems to be no effective way to increase their value.

Walrus Protocol breaks this deadlock in an interesting way. As a highly regarded storage protocol within the Sui ecosystem, it adopts a distributed node network architecture, encrypts user data end-to-end, and only the private key holder can access it. Whether it's personal private files or enterprise-sensitive data, this system provides genuine security guarantees.

What’s more attractive is the token mechanism design. The WAL token is not only an ecosystem governance tool; ordinary users can directly delegate their WAL to officially certified storage nodes, earning an annualized staking yield of 18%-25%. With weekly settlements and stable payouts—this is quite appealing to long-term holders. Plus, each storage transaction triggers a destruction mechanism, gradually shrinking the token supply. In the long run, this deflationary design can support steady value appreciation.

From an architectural perspective, Walrus integrates the seemingly contradictory needs of privacy protection and revenue generation. You can gain true data sovereignty while earning substantial passive income through staking. This "dual-track" approach is quite rare in the Web3 storage space. The continuous improvement of the ecosystem and expansion of application scenarios are worth ongoing attention.
