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区块链上的领先的分散存储协议，已宣布安排其Mainnet发布于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.

*发布会通过私人代币销售成功进行了1.4亿美元的筹款工作，该筹款活动将用于扩大协议的存储能力并推动更广泛的采用。

* 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.

*为了庆祝发布会，海象将介绍其原住民代币WAL，总供应50亿个令牌。大部分10％将用于海象用户的下降，其中4％分配给初始空投，其余6％保留用于将来的分布。

* 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.

*用户下降是一项旨在奖励协议的早期采用者，贡献者和支持者的倡议，与该项目对社区所有权的重点保持一致。

* 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点在PST上拍摄了最初的空投快照，空调将与Mainnet发布一致，使用户可以从2025年3月27日开始声称其令牌。

* 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将看到2亿代币的分布，而随后的3亿代币的分配可能会针对持续的参与和未来的里程碑。

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

*诸如TestNet参与，持有基于SUI的资产或为协议开发做出贡献的因素可能在确定气流资格方面发挥作用。

* 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之后，剩余的6％的代币分配将分阶段发布，可能与用户活动或社区计划保持一致。

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

*通过广泛分配代币，海象旨在使控制权分散并授权其用户群体为协议的增长做出贡献。

Boosting Adoption and Expanding Storage Capabilities

提高采用并扩大存储功能

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

发射引发了SUI区块链生态系统和更广泛的分散融资（DEFI）社区的热情。

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的存储解决方案旨在管理称为Blobs的大型非结构化数据，预计将在NFT，游戏资产和多媒体存储等领域找到应用。它与SUI区块链的高吞吐量和低延迟体系结构的集成预计将为集中式存储提供商提供具有成本效益且可扩展的替代方案。

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.

市场分析师认为，成功部署海象可以验证其技术方法，并将其确立为Web3应用程序的可靠存储解决方案。

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

该项目的成功也可能吸引开发人员进入SUI区块链，从而通过创新的分散应用程序（DAPP）增强其生态系统。

Competitive Landscape and Market Dynamics

竞争格局和市场动态

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通过IPFS，Filecoin和Arweave等现有的分散存储协议进入竞争空间。它的差异化策略可能集中在与SUI区块链，较低成本和更好的用户体验的更深入集成上。

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

随着公司旨在保持优势，这种竞争环境可能会推动整个行业的进一步创新。

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.

沃尔令牌的引入也有望影响市场动态。虽然最初的Airdrop将将2亿个代币引入流通，但分析师指出，如果收件人决定立即出售它们，则令牌可能会出现短期价格波动。

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，剩余6％的分配的逐渐释放可能会通过鼓励长期持有和参与Walrus生态系统来稳定令牌的价值。

Potential Impact on Sui and Broader Blockchain Ecosystem

对SUI和更广泛的区块链生态系统的潜在影响

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发射的成功凭借了1.4亿美元的私人资助，这将是投资者对SUI区块链生态系统未来信心的关键指标。

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.

具有强大初始用户采用的平稳发布可能会在基于SUI的项目中引起进一步的机构兴趣，而任何技术问题或低采用率都可能降低热情。

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

此外，执行良好的用户下降对于建立一个强大而参与的社区可能至关重要，从而为项目提供基层支持。

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，如果将空投视为有利的内部人士或资格要求缺乏透明度，可能会引起人们的关注。以前的令牌分布也引起了类似的争议，从而导致社区反弹。

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.

如果海象设法实现了提供可扩展，安全和成本效益的分散存储解决方案的目标，那么它可能会对区块链行业的未来具有更大的影响。

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.

其他区块链可能会受到启发来开发类似的解决方案，最终加速了从集中式数据存储提供商向Web3替代方案的过渡。在这种不断发展的景观中，海象克服技术和运营挑战的能力将是确定其长期影响的关键。
