Walrus as a core infrastructure project in the Sui ecosystem, led by Mysten Labs, has currently secured $140 million in financing support, with on-chain TVL also breaking through the $2.5 billion mark, and the project demonstrates relatively stable security coefficients. If you haven't participated in this ecosystem incentive yet, now is a great opportunity — the community still has 300 million WAL tokens awaiting distribution, but the window period for this wave of benefits is indeed closing rapidly.

For Web3 newcomers, the process of participating in Walrus is actually not as complicated as imagined. The key is to prepare two things well.

First, set up the official Sui wallet. For computer users, open Chrome browser and search directly in the extensions store for Sui Wallet, then add it to your browser — that's it; for mobile users, search for the same application name on App Store or Google Play to download. The most important point in this step: after wallet creation, you'll be given a seed phrase — write it down with pen and paper and keep it safe, absolutely do not take screenshots or store it on your phone. The seed phrase is the key to your assets, and if anyone sees it, the consequences will be severe.

Then you can practice on the testnet first. In the test environment, you can get some free test coins, helping you familiarize yourself with the entire operation flow without spending real money to understand the logic. This step is especially helpful for first-time users — it reduces risk and gives you plenty of time to adapt. The entire process actually just takes a few minutes; the steps are so simple that no professional knowledge is needed — just follow along.
