2025年3月10日

* Walrus, the leading decentralized storage protocol built on the Sui blockchain, has announced the scheduling of its mainnet launch for March 27, 2025.

* Walrus是建立在SUI區塊鏈上的領先的分散存儲協議，已宣布安排其Mainnet發佈於2025年3月27日。

* The launch follows a successful $140 million fundraising effort through a private token sale, which will be used to expand the protocol’s storage capabilities and drive broader adoption.

*發布會通過私人代幣銷售成功進行了1.4億美元的籌款工作，該籌款活動將用於擴大協議的存儲能力並推動更廣泛的採用。

* To celebrate the launch, Walrus will be introducing its native token, WAL, with a total supply of 5 billion tokens. A significant portion of 10% will be dedicated to the Walrus User Drop, with 4% allocated for an initial airdrop and the remaining 6% reserved for future distributions.

*為了慶祝發布會，海象將介紹其原住民代幣WAL，總供應50億個令牌。大部分10％將用於海像用戶的下降，其中4％分配給初始空投，其餘6％保留用於將來的分佈。

* The User Drop is an initiative to reward early adopters, contributors, and supporters of the protocol, aligning with the project’s focus on community ownership.

*用戶下降是一項旨在獎勵協議的早期採用者，貢獻者和支持者的倡議，與該項目對社區所有權的重點保持一致。

* A snapshot for the initial airdrop was taken on March 10, 2025, at 12 PM PST, and the airdrop will coincide with the mainnet launch, allowing users to claim their tokens starting March 27, 2025.

* 2025年3月10日下午12點在PST上拍攝了最初的空投快照，空調將與Mainnet發布一致，使用戶可以從2025年3月27日開始聲稱其令牌。

* The initial airdrop will see the distribution of 200 million tokens, while the subsequent allocation of 300 million tokens will likely target continued engagement and future milestones.

*最初的Airdrop將看到2億代幣的分佈，而隨後的3億代幣的分配可能會針對持續的參與和未來的里程碑。

* Factors such as testnet participation, holding Sui-based assets, or contributing to the protocol’s development may play a role in determining airdrop eligibility.

*諸如TestNet參與，持有基於SUI的資產或為協議開發做出貢獻的因素可能在確定氣流資格方面發揮作用。

* After the initial airdrop, the remaining 6% allocation of tokens will be released in phases, possibly aligned with user activity or community programs.

*最初的Airdrop之後，剩餘的6％的代幣分配將分階段發布，可能與用戶活動或社區計劃保持一致。

* By distributing tokens broadly, Walrus aims to decentralize control and empower its user base to contribute to the protocol’s growth.

*通過廣泛分配代幣，海象旨在使控制權分散並授權其用戶群體為協議的增長做出貢獻。

Boosting Adoption and Expanding Storage Capabilities

提高采用並擴大存儲功能

The launch has sparked enthusiasm within the Sui blockchain ecosystem and the broader decentralized finance (DeFi) community.

發射引發了SUI區塊鏈生態系統和更廣泛的分散融資（DEFI）社區的熱情。

Walrus’s storage solution, designed for managing large unstructured data known as blobs, is expected to find applications in areas such as NFTs, gaming assets, and multimedia storage. Its integration with the Sui blockchain’s high throughput and low latency architecture is anticipated to offer a cost-effective and scalable alternative to centralized storage providers.

Walrus的存儲解決方案旨在管理稱為Blobs的大型非結構化數據，預計將在NFT，遊戲資產和多媒體存儲等領域找到應用。它與SUI區塊鏈的高吞吐量和低延遲體系結構的集成預計將為集中式存儲提供商提供具有成本效益且可擴展的替代方案。

Market analysts suggest that the successful deployment of Walrus could validate its technological approach and establish it as a reliable storage solution for Web3 applications.

市場分析師認為，成功部署海象可以驗證其技術方法，並將其確立為Web3應用程序的可靠存儲解決方案。

The project’s success may also attract developers to the Sui blockchain, enhancing its ecosystem with innovative decentralized applications (dApps).

該項目的成功也可能吸引開發人員進入SUI區塊鏈，從而通過創新的分散應用程序（DAPP）增強其生態系統。

Competitive Landscape and Market Dynamics

競爭格局和市場動態

Walrus enters a competitive space with existing decentralized storage protocols like IPFS, Filecoin, and Arweave. Its differentiation strategy is likely focused on deeper integration with the Sui blockchain, lower costs, and a better user experience.

Walrus通過IPFS，Filecoin和Arweave等現有的分散存儲協議進入競爭空間。它的差異化策略可能集中在與SUI區塊鏈，較低成本和更好的用戶體驗的更深入集成上。

This competitive environment could drive further innovation across the sector as companies aim to maintain an edge.

隨著公司旨在保持優勢，這種競爭環境可能會推動整個行業的進一步創新。

The introduction of the WAL token is also expected to influence market dynamics. While the initial airdrop will introduce 200 million tokens into circulation, analysts note that the tokens could be subject to short-term price volatility if recipients decide to sell them immediately.

沃爾令牌的引入也有望影響市場動態。雖然最初的Airdrop將將2億個代幣引入流通，但分析師指出，如果收件人決定立即出售它們，則令牌可能會出現短期價格波動。

However, the gradual release of the remaining 6% allocation may contribute to stabilizing the token’s value by encouraging long-term holding and participation in the Walrus ecosystem.

但是，剩餘6％的分配的逐漸釋放可能會通過鼓勵長期持有和參與Walrus生態系統來穩定令牌的價值。

Potential Impact on Sui and Broader Blockchain Ecosystem

對SUI和更廣泛的區塊鏈生態系統的潛在影響

With $140 million secured in private funding, the success of Walrus’s mainnet launch will be a key indicator of investor confidence in the future of the Sui blockchain ecosystem.

Walrus的Mainnet發射的成功憑藉了1.4億美元的私人資助，這將是投資者對SUI區塊鏈生態系統未來信心的關鍵指標。

A smooth launch with strong initial user adoption could attract further institutional interest in Sui-based projects, while any technical issues or low adoption rates might dampen enthusiasm.

具有強大初始用戶採用的平穩發布可能會在基於SUI的項目中引起進一步的機構興趣，而任何技術問題或低採用率都可能降低熱情。

Moreover, a well-executed User Drop could be crucial for building a strong and engaged community, providing the project with grassroots support.

此外，執行良好的用戶下降對於建立一個強大而參與的社區可能至關重要，從而為項目提供基層支持。

However, concerns may arise if the airdrop is perceived as favoring insiders or if the eligibility requirements lack transparency. Similar controversies have emerged with previous token distributions, leading to community backlash.

但是，如果將空投視為有利的內部人士或資格要求缺乏透明度，可能會引起人們的關注。以前的令牌分佈也引起了類似的爭議，從而導致社區反彈。

If Walrus manages to achieve its goals of providing scalable, secure, and cost-effective decentralized storage solutions, it could have broader implications for the future of the blockchain industry.

如果海象設法實現了提供可擴展，安全和成本效益的分散存儲解決方案的目標，那麼它可能會對區塊鏈行業的未來具有更大的影響。

Other blockchains might be inspired to develop similar solutions, ultimately accelerating the transition from centralized data storage providers to Web3 alternatives. In this evolving landscape, Walrus’s ability to overcome technical and operational challenges will be key to determining its long-term impact.

其他區塊鏈可能會受到啟發來開發類似的解決方案，最終加速了從集中式數據存儲提供商向Web3替代方案的過渡。在這種不斷發展的景觀中，海象克服技術和運營挑戰的能力將是確定其長期影響的關鍵。
