While many projects are still just talking big on PPTs, Walrus has already handled hundreds of millions of real data requests in a production environment. This is not hype; it’s a solid cross-chain infrastructure actively running.

Currently, over 200 applications are using the services it provides. What does real demand look like? This is it. The daily processing volume is huge, with no fluff—it's all market-driven.

On the technical side, there’s no slack—multi-signature verification ensures data source trustworthiness, transmission layer is optimized, and success rates approach 100%. Such solid engineering expertise isn’t built overnight. Recent upgrades have added support for zero-knowledge proofs, allowing sensitive financial data to be verified while hiding details, satisfying compliance requirements without exposing privacy. This design approach is quite innovative.

What about the economic model? Transparent fee distribution—part goes to nodes, part into the treasury, and part is burned. The token burn mechanism is actively operational, not just written in a whitepaper.

The network infrastructure is also worth noting. Over 150 validation nodes operate stably, with a substantial median stake. This is a real network tested by the market and time, not a simulated environment.

Community governance participation is high. Many proposals are executed through voting, indicating that the protocol isn’t controlled by a few individuals but is community-driven. Ecosystem integration is also impressive—ranging from well-known DeFi protocols to gaming projects, all using Walrus’s services and paying for them. The demand is genuine, without question.

The protocol treasury is well-managed, with sufficient stablecoin reserves ensuring operational continuity. The ecosystem fund has already supported dozens of projects to successfully launch.

Walrus proves its value with solid data and real-world use cases. Such pragmatic work style is rare in the Web3 space. Its clear focus—solving cross-chain data challenges without chasing trends—is the foundation of long-term value.
