海象宣布他们的主网计划本周上线

Walrus宣布他们的主网计划于本周上线，尤其是2025年3月27日。

The excitement is building as Walrus, the decentralized storage protocol built on the Sui blockchain, prepares for its mainnet launch on March 27. This launch marks a significant milestone for the project, which has been in development for the past two years.

这种兴奋是随着SUI区块链建立的分散存储协议的Walrus的建立，为3月27日的主网启动做准备。该发布标志着该项目的重要里程碑，该项目在过去两年中一直在开发。

Walrus is a protocol that aims to provide a scalable and cost-effective decentralized storage solution for “blobs” (large unstructured data like images, videos, or game assets). Its goal is to enable Web3 applications to store data directly, removing the need for centralized services.

海象是一项协议，旨在为“斑点”提供可扩展且具有成本效益的分散存储解决方案（图像，视频或游戏资产等大型非结构化数据）。它的目标是启用Web3应用程序直接存储数据，从而消除了对集中服务的需求。

Walrus will be launching with a total token supply of 5 billion WAL. 10% of the tokens will be allocated to the Walrus User Drop, which is a token distribution initiative designed to reward and engage the community. The User Drop will split into 4% for the initial airdrop, targeting eligible users at the mainnet launch, and 6% reserved for future allocations, likely to reward ongoing participation or additional community milestones.

海象将启动，总供应量为50亿WAL。 10％的令牌将分配给Walrus用户Drop，这是一项旨在奖励和吸引社区的代币发行计划。用户下降将分为4％的初始空调，以符合条件的用户为目标，并在Mainnet发布会上以有资格的用户为目标，并保留6％用于将来的分配，可能会奖励持续的参与或其他社区里程碑。

According to reports, the initial snapshot for eligibility was taken on March 10 at 12 PM PST. The initial 4% airdrop will occur alongside the mainnet launch, with tokens becoming claimable starting March 27.

据报道，最初的资格快照于3月10日下午12点PST拍摄。最初的4％空投将在主网发布并肩发行，即从3月27日开始的代币。

This 10% User Drop from Walrus ties into the broader narrative of Web3 projects aiming for community ownership. Often, protocol revenue or treasury portions are discussed for such governance, though specifics on how WAL token holders may vote or influence the protocol's direction haven't been fully announced yet.

这10％的用户从海象与Web3项目的更广泛的叙述相关联，该项目旨在寻求社区所有权。通常，关于这种治理的协议收入或国库部分会进行讨论，尽管有关Wal Token持有人如何投票或影响协议指示的具体细节尚未完全宣布。

The User Drop has generated significant buzz within the Sui community, as it’s seen as a way to kickstart adoption of Walrus’s blob storage solution, which promises cost-effective, resilient data storage for applications like NFTs, gaming assets, and more.

用户下降在SUI社区中引起了巨大的嗡嗡声，因为它被视为启动Walrus的Blob存储解决方案的一种方式，该解决方案有望为NFTS，GAMING Assets等应用程序提供具有成本效益的弹性数据存储。

Walrus enters a crowded field with players like IPFS, Filecoin, and Arweave. Its success hinges on differentiating itself—possibly through tighter integration with Sui or lower costs—which could pressure competitors to innovate further.

海象与IPF，Filecoin和Arweave这样的球员进入了一个拥挤的领域。它的成功取决于区分自身（可能是通过与SUI或更低成本的更紧密的整合或更低的成本进行的，这可能会给竞争对手推动进一步创新。

The introduction of the WAL token with a 5 billion supply and the User Drop (10% allocation) will influence its early market behavior. The initial 4% airdrop (200 million tokens) could flood the market if recipients sell immediately, potentially suppressing prices short-term.

引入了供应50亿个WAL令牌，用户下降（10％分配）将影响其早期市场行为。如果收件人立即出售，最初的4％的空投（2亿个令牌）可能会淹没市场，并可能短期抑制价格。

However, the reserved 6% for future drops might stabilize value by incentivizing long-term holding or usage. By distributing tokens to early users, Walrus creates a vested community, which could drive organic growth. This mirrors strategies seen in projects like Aptos or Solana, where airdrops boosted engagement—but it also risks speculative dumping if utility isn’t immediately clear.

但是，保留的6％用于未来的下降可能会通过激励长期持有或使用来稳定价值。通过向早期用户分发令牌，Walrus创建了一个既得社区，这可能会推动有机增长。这反映了在Aptos或Solana之类的项目中看到的策略，在此项目中，AIRDROPS提高了参与度，但如果公用事业不立即清楚，它也会有可能投机倾销。

With $140 million raised in a private token sale, the mainnet launch tests investor confidence. A smooth rollout could draw more institutional interest in Sui-based projects, while glitches or low adoption might cool enthusiasm.

Mainnet发射测试投资者的信心在私人代币销售中筹集了1.4亿美元。平稳的推出可能会在基于SUI的项目中引起更多的机构兴趣，而小故障或低采用可能会降低热情。

Walrus’s launch could amplify Sui’s narrative as a Layer 1 blockchain contender, especially after its own mainnet debut in 2023. If Walrus delivers, it might pull in developers and users from Ethereum, Solana, or other ecosystems, reinforcing Sui’s niche in high-performance dApps.

Walrus的发射可能会将Sui的叙述放大为1层区块链竞争者，尤其是在2023年自己的Mainnet首次亮相之后。如果Walrus提供，它可能会从以太坊，Solana或其他生态系统中吸引开发人员和用户，从而使Sui的Sui在高绩效dapps中加强了Sui的利基市场。

The User Drop fosters a sense of ownership, potentially creating a loyal user base. However, if eligibility feels opaque or rewards skew toward insiders, it could spark backlash—similar to controversies in past airdrops like Arbitrum’s.

用户放弃会产生一种所有权感，可能创建忠实的用户群。但是，如果资格感觉不透明或奖励偏向内部人士，它可能会引起反弹，就像过去的索环一样的争议之类的诸如inotum's之类的争议。

If Walrus proves decentralized storage can be both practical and profitable, it might inspire similar projects across other blockchains, accelerating the shift from centralized providers like AWS to Web3 alternatives. Mainnet launches are notoriously complex. Delays, bugs, or security issues could undermine trust in Walrus and, by extension, Sui.

如果海象证明可以分散的存储既实用又有利可图，它可能会激发其他区块链的类似项目，从而加快从AWS等集中式提供商转向Web3替代方案的转变。主网发布非常复杂。延迟，错误或安全问题可能会破坏对海象的信任，并扩展为SUI。
