Let me talk about a few characteristics of Sui's market operations, and walrus might also follow this approach. I suggest you learn about it in advance.
1. They like to pump the price around the unlocking time. Sui often has market movements around the beginning of each month when unlocking occurs; you can go back and check the K-line for confirmation.
2. Once it starts, it happens very quickly, and there are almost no comfortable entry points, along with a duration of paid rates.
3. There are also various high-yield mining activities happening simultaneously on the chain, with TVL growing rapidly, which is a way to reasonably multiply your chips. The difference in token quantity between participating and not participating can be 10% to 20%.
4. There will be a good price increase accompanying positive news, with the news and token price moving in sync; many projects fail to achieve even this.
5. When the trend is upward, the pullbacks are minimal. It often moves against the market trend; I used to call Sui's market the "reverse child." It tends to rise when the market is falling or consolidating, which can attract market attention and funds.
6. It washes out the weak hands and leaves profits for the believers. Participate more in the ecosystem to gain more chips.

The next betting opportunity for Sui is Walrus, which has many similarities with early Sui.
➤ First, let's talk about the funding and operation aspects.
1. Grayscale has established trusts for Walrus and DEEP, completing the whole package, which is a clear signal for institutional entry.
2. Last year, when Sui was included in the trust, it had just launched. On August 7, 2024, the Sui trust was introduced at a price of $0.8, which was the average cost for most.
Walrus and Sui share many similarities; after the first wave, Sui reached $2 before returning to $0.6-$0.8, while Walrus doubled from its launch to a peak price of $0.77. During this time, it consolidated around $0.4, with a low of $0.35.
3. The institutional financing cost for Walrus is $0.4, which will only start unlocking on March 27, 2026. The current price of $0.4-$0.45 is also the average cost for most, yielding little profit. The prolonged consolidation can be seen as a healthy process of chip turnover and accumulation. The market is clearing out short-term speculators and profit-takers from airdrops, and it could start at any time.
4. Unlike other malicious market makers, Sui's initial chips were all purchased from the secondary market, including Sui, DEEP, and WAL, and early investors have not unlocked their holdings.
➤ Changes in the fundamentals of the Walrus project
1. Walrus has recently resumed heavy promotion, with frequent activities, including being listed on Kaito and collaborating with the large web2 company Onefootball (with 200 million global fans).
2. In May, SuiBasecamp updated its narrative, stating that Sui is a future-oriented Web3 full-stack infrastructure with built-in liquidity (DeepBook), verifiable storage (Walrus), secure access (SEAL), high-performance networking (SCION), and off-chain computing (Nautilus). Walrus is the most important part of this.
3. The timing of Grayscale's trust launch is highly similar to last year's Sui peak.
4. The mining incentives for Walrus have significantly increased, with an on-chain annualized rate of 40%, leading to a large influx of funds into WAL.
5. The second airdrop is on the way (requiring WAL staking), acting as a market catalyst.
➤ My trading strategy
Entry and exit strategy: buy spot at $0.4-$0.46, with a grid set between $0.37-$0.8. The liquidation price is controlled at $0.34. All spot WAL is mined on-chain, with part of it also being market-making based on the grid setting range.
If the market ends up falling, I will exit at $0.4, as it may indicate a misjudgment, and I will look for new entry opportunities.
Will Walrus become the next betting opportunity for Sui? I believe the market will soon provide an answer.

How's the Mitosis reward that was said to be mouth-rolled yesterday?
The rewards for Season 2 are quite something, and there are many reward spots; the top three hundred will benefit! Kaito is now online, so let's get started right away!
Reward distribution:
🥇 1st place: 10K miUSDC
🥈 2nd place: 5K miUSDC
🥉 3rd place: 3K miUSDC
🔻 4th–35th place: 1K miUSDC each
🔻 Additionally, the top 300 yappers will have future extra airdrops at the time of the snapshot!
What is miUSDC?
This is the yield-generating USDC of Mitosis (the EOL contract audited by @zellic_io), and the underlying strategy integrates top DeFi infrastructures like @yield, with an average APY currently close to 11%. Not only can you earn yields, but you can also use it in the future ecosystem of Mitosis: DeFi, perpetuals, NFT markets, and even games will use miUSDC as the primary native asset!
What’s the secret to climbing the leaderboard?
This is not what I say, but what the official says! The content direction focuses on having context and thought, not AI-generated fluff. Mitosis and Kaito have made it clear that only original, high-quality content closely tied to Mitosis will receive rewards!
Season 2 is a signal! The mainnet launch is imminent, and miUSDC will become the most important asset in the ecosystem; getting it means earning it! Let's work hard together, family!

After the Japien TGE, I'm planning to get into two projects:
1/ Mitosis @MitosisOrg
S1 ended at the end of July, and now it's going straight to the mainnet. The top 35 will receive 50,000 miUSDC every month.
This gameplay is more interesting than the previous pure leaderboard:
Real stablecoin rewards, no fear of price crashes, and the rewards can also participate in ecosystem earnings! The period around the mainnet launch is the hottest time, so getting in early makes it easier to secure a top spot!
2/ Walrus @WalrusProtocol
Walrus hasn't started yet, but the official Twitter has hinted:
Using USD to reward the top spots on the leaderboard, without issuing $WAL! Details are yet to be announced.
The project team is still collecting community feedback, and they will likely add some on-chain gameplay later; staking, providing liquidity pools, and so on.
▰▰▰▰▰
The reasons I'm interested in these two projects are:
※ High reward expectations
※ After TGE, projects are often forgotten, creating opportunities with less competition
※ The period after TGE is often the best time to discover and build potential projects
※ Both projects have the same goal, not wanting their tokens to crash, so they chose stablecoins for rewards
One is stable, the other is new, and both can secure a position!

Comparing Walrus and Irys
First of all, @Walrus has already launched its mainnet, while @irys_xyz is still before its mainnet, so a direct comparison might be difficult. However, since they are among the most emerging projects in the decentralized cloud market, it would be good to compare them and look at them objectively.
Ultimately, such a market may see a single strong player emerge, but according to the spirit of decentralization, I believe that having as many competitors as possible and growing through mutual competition is healthy for the ecosystem and users.
Walrus Protocol Technical Structure
- Modular Design: An overlay structure utilizing the Sui blockchain as a payment layer
- RedStuff: 66% node failure tolerance with a replication rate of 4-5 times
- Delegated Proof of Stake (DPoS): Operating storage nodes through $WAL token staking
- More than 100 independent storage operators are active on the mainnet
Irys Technical Structure
- Monolithic L1: Integrating storage and execution into a single chain
- Hybrid Consensus: Combining useful Proof of Work (uPoW) + staking
- IrysVM: Directly reading/writing data objects on-chain
- Miner operating model per 16TB partition
The pros and cons are structured as above, but since Irys does not yet have a mainnet, it seems we will need to take another look after the mainnet launch.
From a technical perspective, Walrus has very efficient storage management (RedStuff), which excels in cost reduction, and it integrates with the SUI ecosystem, allowing for the integration of Move's smart contracts.
In the case of Irys, it processes files as first-class objects based on programmable data, embedding metadata and policy layers. It also has the advantage of being an independent L1 with no fee market and throughput limitations.
On the other hand, Walrus is already growing while storing over 1.1PB, and its token is already out, while Irys is still in a position where it needs to prove its growth ahead of its mainnet.
Walrus also has a deep connection with the Sui ecosystem, which may allow it to benefit from a halo effect alongside the growth of its mainnet, while Irys, being its own mainnet, has the autonomy to tap in freely. However, it differs in that it does not automatically create a large consumer pool like Walrus.
Personally, I hope that both systems, being relatively new and active, will bring superior performance, functionality, and a new breeze to the decentralized cloud market compared to previous competitors. (Ah, my old mining rigs that have become obsolete.... lol)
