Let's be honest: crypto is still intimidating for the vast majority of people. The jargon, the wallets, the gas fees, the constant fear of making a mistake—it's a huge barrier to entry. Most projects are so busy talking to the already-converted that they ignore the ocean of potential users still on the shore. This is a massive opportunity for a community-driven project like
@Walrus 🦭/acc What if part of the Walrus identity became synonymous with accessible, high-quality crypto education? This isn't about shilling
$WAL . This is about becoming a trusted resource for newcomers. By educating, you attract users who are grateful, loyal, and likely to engage deeply with your ecosystem first.
Imagine "Walrus Academy" or a series of well-produced guides that cover:
· The Absolute Basics: "What is a wallet? What's a seed phrase?"
· Protocol-Specific Knowledge: "How do you actually use Walrus Protocol? A step-by-step visual guide."
· Broader Concepts: "What is liquidity providing? A simple explanation with animations."
This content can live on YouTube, TikTok, Twitter threads, and a dedicated blog. The community can be empowered to translate it, share it, and even create their own. The tone should be friendly, patient, and devoid of condescension—much like a helpful pod-mate.
The strategic benefits are immense:
· Trust Building: When you teach someone without asking for anything in return, you build immense trust. That trust translates into goodwill for
$WAL and the protocol.
· User Onboarding: You effectively create your own onboarding funnel. Someone learns about DeFi from your content, then learns to use a wallet, and their first interaction with a live protocol is naturally yours.
· Brand Differentiation: In a sea of projects screaming "BUY! BUY! BUY!", being the project that says "Let us teach you" is radically different. It positions Walrus as mature, confident, and here for the long haul.
For this to work, it must be authentic. It can't be a thinly veiled sales pitch. The education should be genuinely useful, even if it never mentions the token. The Walrus mascot is perfect for this—it can be the wise, approachable teacher of the crypto seas.
In the long run, the project that onboard the next million users wins. By making education a core pillar, Walrus Protocol wouldn't just be building a product; it would be building the informed user base necessary for the entire space to grow. And that is a legacy far greater than any price chart.
