๐ฐ In previous reviews, we discussed the technology behind
#walrus . But today, it is time to talk about money. ๐ค
How exactly does the
$WAL token generate value for its holders, and why do analysts call it the "economic flywheel" of the Sui ecosystem?
๐ณ๏ธ 1. More Than Just a Governance Token
Many crypto projects have tokens that are only useful for voting. WAL is different. It is a Utility Token, without which the network physically cannot function.
To store any file on the
@Walrus ๐ฆญ/acc network (an NFT image, a website, game data), the user is required to buy WAL and pay for the storage space with it.
๐ฅ 2. The "Supply Shock" Effect
Here is the most interesting part: as dApps become popular on Sui, they need more space.
More data = more WAL bought to pay for storage.
These tokens get locked in Storage Nodes.
Result: Free liquidity of WAL is removed from the market, creating a supply shortage (Supply Shock).
๐ต3. A Paradise for Stakers (Passive Income)
Walrus utilizes a Delegated Proof-of-Stake (DPoS) mechanism.
WAL holders can delegate their tokens to nodes and earn a share of the storage fees.
These are not inflationary rewards printed "out of thin air" (like in many meme-farms), but Real Yield paid by users for the storage service.
๐4. Comparison with Giants
Look at Filecoin (FIL). At its peak, it was worth hundreds of dollars precisely because of the demand for storage.
But Walrus has an advantage: it is built on Sui (Move), making it much faster and cheaper to integrate into games and DeFi. If Filecoin is an old Hard Drive, Walrus is a high-speed SSD.
๐ฏ Conclusion:
The token price grows not just because of hype, but because of real usage. The more the Sui ecosystem develops, the more "fuel" (WAL) it needs. For a long-term investor, this is a signal: accumulate an asset that has real demand.
