Join the Airdrop at the official website, CryptosHeadlinesToken.com Both on its own account and as part of the Sui ecosystem, the Walrus Protocol has been busy with lots of productive updates. Their goal is to bring decentralized data storage to everyone from the public to large datasets like AI models.Let’s see what Walrus has been up to over the last few weeks.Some Walrus Mainnet StatsMany of you know the Walrus mainnet has only been live since the end of March. But it is crushing it.Sui Basecamp 2025 wrapped in Dubai!From the first hands-on with the @SuiPlay console to talks by #Web3 leaders like @EvanWeb3 and @web3crusadr, the event spotlighted Sui’s big milestones: $140M+ raised by Walrus 17.6M MAUs 25K ETH bridged via Sui Bridge#SUI #Crypto pic.twitter.com/uzJSM6qPbK— Sui Stream (@SuiStream) May 5, 2025 These are just some of the stats on users and money raised and other signs of growth for the platform. All of that came out at Sui Basecamp, which took place late last week in Dubai alongside Token2049. It’s pretty simple. Both the public and businesses and fellow crypto projects are coming to Walrus and using it.The Case for Decentralized AIOne of the big concerns many in our industry have about the growth of AI is control and access to our data. Having already failed at this with social media, there are many projects around now trying to prevent the big AI platforms like ChatGPT and Claude from getting access to all of our data for free yet again.Decentralize the whole stack. https://t.co/pMABe28jpP— Walrus /acc (@WalrusProtocol) April 18, 2025Walrus is one of the leaders in trying to prevent it. Decentralized AI is important for everyone, not just privacy lovers. Since the platform is built differently than other storage solutions and has a specialty in storing blobs (large forms of unstructured data), this makes Walrus uniquely qualified to host decentralized versions of AI models. In fact, open source model Deepseek is already on a Tao subnet and fellow open source model Qwen is another we expect to see hosted on Walrus soon. Qwen in particular is small enough to be hosted locally on your own computer. That’s pretty good. Yet, what really matters is that we don’t just give away our data again like it’s worthless. It’s not. Models need this data.An entire industry of small business, SAAS, and niche-specific responsive AI apps can now be built with ease using Walrus for storage and access to the model. It’s a whole new global economy that Walrus is enabling along with some others.New Partners & ClientsAmong the new clients Walrus has picked up in recent weeks is the popular crypto podcast Unchained with Laura Shin. The entire podcast and all media, episodes and related content are now all available instantly thanks to storage on Walrus.The Tradeport integration means the NFT marketplace can do what it does more easily and with Walrus’ advanced storage of metadata, new mints or combining NFTs into one when playing a game are easier and faster than ever before.It’s official: TradePort’s integration with @WalrusProtocol is now LIVE on our Sui NFT launchpad!This upgrade transforms how NFT metadata is stored and opens the door to next-gen use cases.Let’s break it down. pic.twitter.com/3ksjaJ9H0R— TradePort (@tradeportxyz) May 5, 2025 And on the NFT front, the Pudgy Penguins NFT collection is storing all its digital media on Walrus. You can read about it right here.$WAL Token PerformanceOver the last 2 weeks, the market hasn’t done very much with one huge exception for the Sui ecosystem. But it’s clear that Walrus’ performance is NOT just because it’s part of Sui. In the last 2 weeks. $WAL has gone from 41c up to 55c. That’s a big move of 30+% in what’s been a non-trending market lately. We at Altcoin Buzz think the huge returns and benefits for $WAL token holders are just beginning, especially if you have a long term POV.It’s clear that Walrus and the Mysten Labs team are one of the best operating teams in crypto.DisclaimerThe information discussed by Altcoin Buzz is not financial advice.
