The true value of blockchain infrastructure, frankly, depends on how prosperous the ecosystem is. Take decentralized storage as an example—how many projects are there, and what is their quality? This directly relates to whether the technology can be practically implemented and how much market influence it can have.

Walrus has already attracted over 170 projects building applications on its protocol, covering media, gaming, DeFi/RWA, AI, and infrastructure—almost the entire Web3 ecosystem. This not only indicates that the application scenarios are sufficiently rich but also confirms that this set of technologies is indeed feasible and useful.

Looking at some specific examples makes this clear. In the media sector, DecryptMedia has stored 1,709 articles on Walrus, using decentralized storage to combat censorship and ensure long-term, stable access to content. In an era where information flow is restricted, this approach offers new possibilities for free dissemination of media content. In sports and entertainment, ONE Championship uses Walrus for decentralized comics, combining sports IP with digital content to expand reach through reliable storage and distribution. Additionally, SnowReads, a decentralized digital library, simply uses Walrus as its storage backbone, allowing knowledge and cultural content to transcend geographical and temporal limitations and achieve permanent preservation.

Projects in gaming, DeFi, AI, and other fields are also joining in succession. The scale of this ecosystem and the breadth of applications demonstrate that the potential for decentralized storage infrastructure indeed exists.
