Walrus, as the core infrastructure project of the Sui ecosystem led by Mysten Labs, has currently secured $140 million in funding support. Its on-chain TVL has also surpassed $2.5 billion, and the project's security level remains relatively stable. If you haven't participated in this ecosystem incentive yet, now is a good opportunity — the community still has 300 million WAL tokens waiting for distribution, but this window of opportunity is indeed closing quickly.

For Web3 newcomers, the process of participating in Walrus is actually less complicated than you might think. The key is to prepare two things.

First, set up the official Sui wallet. Computer users can open the Chrome browser, search for Sui Wallet in the extension store, and add it to the browser; mobile users can search for the same app name in the App Store or Google Play to download. The most important point in this step: after creating the wallet, it will generate a mnemonic phrase. Write it down on paper and keep it safe — do not screenshot or store it on your phone. The mnemonic phrase is the key to your assets; if someone else sees it, the consequences could be very serious.

Next, you can practice on the testnet first. In the test environment, you can get free test tokens, which helps you familiarize yourself with the entire process without spending real money, making it easier 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 whole process actually only takes a few minutes, with simple steps that require no professional knowledge; just follow along.
