💰 In previous reviews, we discussed the technology behind
#walrus . But today, it is time to talk about money. 🤑
How exactly does the
$WAL token generate value for its holders, and why do analysts call it the "economic flywheel" of the Sui ecosystem?
🗳️ 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 🦭/acc network (an NFT image, a website, game data), the user is required to buy WAL and pay for the storage space with it.
🔥 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).
💵3. 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.
📊4. 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.
🎯 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.
