The core competitiveness of the Walrus protocol actually lies in its ability to connect multiple ecosystems into a truly collaborative system. As of now, over 360 applications have integrated with it, covering various sectors such as gaming, DeFi, and content creation. Among them, NFT gaming projects account for 38%, and DeFi protocols contribute 43%. With more developers joining, the value of the entire ecosystem is growing exponentially.

The economic incentive mechanism acts as an amplifier here. Every on-chain call and data access not only ensures the availability of applications but also provides tangible token rewards to participants. Data from last month shows that approximately 125,000 token units were distributed to users involved in storage and data access.

These numbers may not seem particularly remarkable at first glance, but they are of great significance in the long run. As data continues to accumulate and user activity increases, Walrus's network effects within the entire ecosystem will deepen and become increasingly difficult to disrupt. For early entrants—users and developers—this may be the critical moment before the value explosion.
