Walrus Mainnet Launches Tomorrow, SUI's Largest Airdrop Ever is Here!
Tomorrow, the Walrus mainnet officially goes live, and it is no exaggeration to say that this is the largest airdrop in SUI's history! A few days ago, when Walrus announced a funding of $140 million, everyone was excited, which means that the walrus airdrop you receive will turn from small to huge! It feels like this round of financing was agreed upon a long time ago, just waiting for the official announcement, which is why the official Twitter was bold enough to declare 'SUI's largest airdrop ever'.
🔘Web3 Version of AWS, Decentralized Storage is the Next Big Trend!
We all know that AI is a major narrative, and when many people think of AI, they only think of computing power, but AI also needs storage, and not just AI needs storage; all the apps we use on our phones require storage to support them. All Web2/Web3 applications cannot do without a strong storage foundation. Walrus is laying out the entire decentralized storage sector, becoming one of the most important projects for the SUI Foundation in 2025! Currently, ecosystem projects like Plume Network and Tusky have already joined, and the future ecosystem will only get larger.
🔘Why was Walrus able to secure top-tier funding?
Many people may not understand why Walrus was able to secure such large funding, especially from top investors like a16z, Standard Crypto, and Electric Capital. Web2 giants (AWS, Google Cloud) have already proven the market's demand for scalable storage; they are the two largest giants in this field in the world.
🔘Why is Walrus stronger?
Performance upgrade: faster, more stable, and cheaper than Filecoin and Arweave
Supports application expansion: allows Web3 applications to seamlessly handle decentralized data
Better incentive mechanism: ensures the long-term sustainable development of storage nodes
🔘Walrus Token Economics
Over 60% of $WAL is allocated to the community, with airdrops, developer incentives, and ecosystem subsidies providing comprehensive support!
10% airdrop: rewards early users, with 4% in the first round and an additional 6% to be distributed later.
Walrus has a high allocation ratio for the community, which ensures long-term growth for the project and truly aims to delve deeper into the decentralized storage sector! There is still a 6% airdrop portion to come, so everyone can really keep an eye on Walrus's updates!
