Looking into the operation mechanism of WAL, it's quite interesting. Each time a storage transaction occurs, a portion of WAL is destroyed. Currently, over 800TB of data is being processed, and as transaction frequency increases, the amount destroyed is also steadily growing. On the other side are those low-efficiency nodes, where staked tokens are dynamically reduced, and the reduced portion also enters the destruction pool.

This design resonates with market demand—RWA on-chain requires storage, AI training data needs storage space, and NFT metadata management also relies on these infrastructures. As demand heats up, the circulation and consumption of WAL naturally rise.

Currently, WAL has been listed on dozens of exchanges, and recently Grayscale Trust also added it, expanding liquidity channels. In this era of abundant issuance models in the crypto market, a token truly achieving deflationary mechanics indeed stands out. Short-term price fluctuations are inevitable, but this scarcity logic still has long-term confidence.

Honestly, the destruction mechanism is really quite unique, not just some superficial deflation hype on paper. Wait, RWA, AI storage, NFT metadata… connecting these demand chains actually seems to make sense. Grayscale has already entered? That’s a sign that major institutions are starting to pay attention. Just worried that some new tricks might come up later. 800TB is running, and the consumption is indeed there; it looks manageable. There aren’t many tokens that can truly be burned these days; most are just schemes to fleece retail investors. There’s some scarcity, but don’t get caught up in short-term price swings.

A truly deflationary model is indeed rare, but it depends on whether it can last until that day. The destruction mechanism looks good, but the key is whether trading volume can continue to rise. Grayscale's entry is interesting, but don't get too excited; in the short term, it's still about whether it can break through the key level. Running with over 800TB of data, this infrastructure demand is indeed there. I believe in the deflationary logic, but I'm worried that demand might not keep up and could lead to being "cut" like a leek. The node reduction mechanism is quite harsh; inefficient nodes should be eliminated, but could this lead to centralization? Expanding liquidity is a good thing; at least it provides an opportunity to get on board. Is RWA and AI data on-chain really a necessity, or is it just another concept hype? I'm a bit worried this might become the next "deflation myth" that turns out to be false. The market is increasing issuance, and it’s burning; the contrast is indeed stark, but how long can the price be supported? 800TB sounds impressive, but how many real-world applications have actually been implemented?

I agree with the logic of the deflationary model. Looking back after three years, the current prices will probably make me laugh. Over 800TB is just getting started, and the real demand is still ahead.

Really, with 800TB running, the destruction mechanism has started to show its effects. This is true deflationary economics. I have to say that WAL's design is pretty good, much more reliable than those just talking about concepts. The fact that Grayscale is involved shows you guys should understand the significance. Storage demand is indeed a real necessity—RWA, AI data, NFT metadata... the demand is there, not something that pump-and-dump coins can compare to. I'm optimistic about this scarcity logic. Even if the bear market causes some dips, so what? The deflationary aspect is there to stay. Short-term fluctuations are normal, but in the long run, this design is excellent. The reduction mechanism + destruction pool—other coins should learn from this. The dynamic reduction of staking is a bit harsh; inefficient nodes are directly exploited, giving a sense of ecosystem self-purification. This is what true token economy design looks like—it's not comparable to those garbage projects with infinite issuance.

Deflationary logic is indeed solid. Burning 800TB of data is happening, which is true demand-driven growth. --- Grayscale has entered the market, and institutional recognition is different. Short-term volatility is normal, but in the long run, scarcity is an advantage. --- Other projects issue tokens daily, while WAL burns tokens in the opposite way. This comparison is indeed unmatched. --- RWA+AI data on the chain, storage needs are there, it's not just wishful thinking. --- Inefficient nodes are cut and sent to the burn pool. This design is a bit harsh, but it can indeed optimize the ecosystem. --- Currently, the bottleneck is liquidity. Listing on more exchanges is a good sign, but depth still needs improvement. --- Truly deflationary tokens can sustain confidence even in a bear market, which is worth paying attention to.

With 800TB running, the destruction volume is steadily increasing. This is true deflation, unlike some coins that keep issuing new tokens daily and just make empty promises. Grayscale is here, and institutional players are much more perceptive than us... Feeling a bit anxious. Those who dare to implement deflationary design in this era, WAL's move isn't just gambling; they really have some solid skills. RWA, AI data, NFT metadata... The demand side indeed has a lot of potential, but the key is whether the nodes can truly support this volume. Staking is being reduced into the burn pool; this mechanism is quite ruthless. Low-efficiency nodes won't have an easy time. Liquidity is expanding, but short-term fluctuations... I think I'll wait and see before deciding whether to add to my position. Honestly, compared to those coins that often hard fork to rescue the market, WAL's approach is much clearer. I believe in the deflation logic, but whether the coin price can hold is the key... We need to see if we can get on board with this wave. Over 800TB of data isn't a small number. Comparing it to other storage chains, WAL's progress is impressive. Scarcity is indeed a competitive advantage, but I'm worried about potential black swan events in the future...
