Recently, I studied Walrus Protocol in detail and found that it opens up an interesting perspective in the Layer1 space—modularity and customization are no longer just developer-centric features but are truly infrastructure for ordinary users and communities. The essence of $WAL is to enable everyone to participate and autonomously define their on-chain experience.

In traditional blockchain ecosystems, the core teams generally hold all the decision-making power. But Walrus takes a reverse approach with its modular design—giving the choice directly back to users. Imagine being able to freely combine and assemble applications like building with LEGO bricks, creating the most suitable system for your needs. DeFi, social, gaming, and even more innovative scenarios can all be realized through flexible combinations. This approach significantly lowers the barrier to innovation and truly embodies the Web3 user sovereignty ideal.

On the technical level, $WAL emphasizes high performance and low cost, precisely addressing current market pain points. Coupled with a highly open ecosystem, the potential for co-creation is vast. As the modular ecosystem grows, a community-driven, highly interoperable multi-chain system is gradually taking shape.

It’s not just a protocol but more like a growing ecosystem. If more developers and users participate in exploring various possibilities of modular combinations, the next wave of opportunities in Web3 might very well be in this direction.
