Since the first day I came into contact with the Walrus Protocol, I have witnessed the complete process of this project from concept to practice, and then to gradual maturity. Today, I want to document these years of observations.

Although early versions had limited features, the idea of privacy protection was already very clear. The most impressive thing was the team's restraint—they didn't pile on flashy features but focused all their energy on the basic experience. This is not common in the industry.

Each iteration has shown obvious improvements. When new features are added, they always solve practical problems encountered and do not increase complexity for users. This design philosophy is somewhat like minimalism—appearing simple but with well-thought-out considerations behind it.

The economic model of the WAL token is also continuously refined. Contributions from early users are respected, and new participants have fair opportunities. Achieving this balance is difficult, but they have done it. The storage solution has been implemented step by step, from paper to formal application. Now, it is not only stable in operation but also gradually reveals its technical advantages.

Security has never been compromised. As the scale expands, security standards are raised even higher, and the team’s investment in this area is always unwavering. This attitude directly translates into user trust, and the security record has always been excellent.

The evolution of the community is also very interesting. From an early small circle to now, the atmosphere has remained healthy. New and old users get along harmoniously, jointly maintaining a positive discussion environment. This is not naturally formed but is the result of the team’s careful guidance.

Ecological cooperation has progressed smoothly, with partners being recognized teams within the industry. Seeing excellent projects support each other and work together to promote industry development truly makes people feel that this is a healthy ecological cycle.

Finally, I want to say that the growth approach of the Walrus Protocol has left me with the impression that it is: steady but not conservative, progressive but not restless. A good project can stand the test of time, and this is fully reflected here. I am very fortunate to have witnessed its growth all along.
