When working on blockchain projects, many developers are looking for a storage solution that is both easy to use and cost-effective. The Walrus protocol has recently attracted a lot of attention, mainly due to its usability and practical benefits.

From a development perspective, Walrus's API is designed to be quite simple—integrating a new project can be up and running in about 5 minutes. It supports multiple mainstream programming languages such as Move, Rust, and JavaScript, which means teams with different tech stacks can get started quickly without having to learn a complex new toolchain.

The cost advantages are even more apparent. Quilt, this storage optimization solution, can help project teams save up to 90% of storage costs. For data-intensive applications like operating NFTs or GameFi, this reduction directly impacts the project's economic model. The dynamic data management features give developers more room for imagination—NFT attribute updates and game data changes can be handled more flexibly.

Interestingly, Walrus has also established an ecosystem fund to encourage developers to submit projects for support—reducing the participation barrier and enabling high-quality projects to receive resource backing.

WAL-4,14%

90% of the costs cut directly, how awesome is that? No wonder so many people are discussing Walrus. Five-minute integration? I feel like it's another "incredibly simple" promise. The ecological fund sounds good, but how many projects can actually get support? Support for Move, Rust, and JS? At least that looks reliable, no need to be forced to learn new languages. Whether the storage optimization plan is reliable depends on the actual data after running; I'm already tired of just paper promises. Wait, can NFT truly handle attribute changes so flexibly? If that really works, some projects might be saved.

90% reduction? Is this really true, it feels a bit suspicious... --- 5-minute integration also supports multiple languages, but I'm worried it might be a different story in actual use --- The ecological fund move is pretty good, it can indeed attract developers to try it out --- Saving 90% of costs sounds pretty outrageous, has anyone tested it? --- I've never heard of the Quilt solution before, need to see what the community says about it --- I'm interested in multi-chain compatibility, GameFi really lacks this kind of thing --- Another so-called universal storage solution, let's see if it can last more than half a year --- A clean API is a plus, but its reliability is still questionable

5-minute integration? That's a bit exaggerated... but saving 90% of costs is indeed impressive. --- I need to try Quilt's operation; GameFi projects are struggling with data costs. --- The ecosystem fund setup is basically just bloodsucking; don't get caught. --- API is simple and straightforward, but how's the stability? The key is to run it and see. --- Multi-language support is good, but I'm worried it might be another case of praise without popularity. --- Is the 90% cost saving real? Are there actual project data to back it up? --- Supports Move, Rust, JS? That definitely lowers the barrier, but the main thing still depends on ecosystem activity. --- The ecosystem fund sounds good, but I'm worried it might become another way to cut the leeks. --- Fast integration is fast, but over the years I've become a bit immune to the phrase "easy to use"... --- Storage cost issues are indeed a pain point, but whether Walrus is reliable depends on future maintenance.

Can it run in just 5 minutes? Sounds like marketing hype haha I'm actually interested in trying the 90% cost savings. GameFi projects are really overwhelmed by storage fees This trick with the ecosystem fund is now played out. Can truly wealthy people get it? API design is simple and straightforward, but the key is whether it actually works smoothly without issues Multilingual support is indeed great. Not having to relearn the toolchain really saves a lot of trouble

5-minute integration? Easy to say, but the real data is that 90% cost savings are what matter... I need to test it myself before I believe it.

5-minute onboarding? This better not be just marketing numbers again --- 90% cost savings... NFT projects must be going crazy when they hear this --- The ecological fund move definitely attracts attention, but I wonder how many projects it can truly support in the end --- API is simple and straightforward, but you still need to learn Move and Rust languages, right? Basically, it's just selective simplification --- I'm a bit tempted, but can Walrus really beat the old rival IPFS? --- Storage saves 90%, that's a pretty impressive number... I need to try it myself to believe it --- Am I the only one who feels like this sounds like a story? --- If GameFi uses this, gas fees can really be eased --- Wait, how much funding does the ecological fund actually have? That's the key --- Another five-minute integration, cost savings, ecological fund—how does it sound like they're just making promises?

Is the 90% cost-saving figure a bit crazy? Is it real data or just marketing talk?

5-minute integration? Then all my previous projects were just a waste of effort, haha --- Cut 90% of the costs directly. That number sounds a bit unbelievable; I need to see it in action to believe it. --- The ecosystem fund is a good move. Finally, someone thought of easing the pressure on developers. --- Does it support move, rust, and js? Okay, maybe I won't need to learn new things this time. --- Frequent NFT data updates have always been a pain point. Can Walrus's solution hold up? --- I believe in saving costs, but I'm worried it might be one of those cases where it looks like savings but ends up costing more elsewhere. --- Fast integration is the most important to me. Time cost is more precious than anything else.

Although 5-minute integration sounds good, it depends on the actual gas fee data when running... The claim of saving 90% of costs should be calculated on an hourly basis to be meaningful.

Cut 90% of costs? That's a bit exaggerated, how much can actually be saved depends on the project's scale --- Integrated in 5 minutes? I feel like it's more like getting started in 5 minutes and debugging for five hours --- Eco funds sound appealing, but I'm worried it's just another old trick of fundraising --- Supporting Move, Rust, and JS is pretty good; at least I don't have to learn weird languages anymore --- Walrus's Quilt solution really convinced me; NFT project costs are too high --- Sounds good, but I just want to know how much was actually saved in real cases --- Run in five minutes? My last project took five minutes just to read the documentation --- The eco fund trick is still the old routine, but if they really can provide funding, it's definitely worth a try --- Storage optimization plans sound reliable, but the key is whether the ecosystem is active enough; no users, and everything is pointless
