Yesterday afternoon, ZTC's TGE241 funding round was once again broken, with oversubscription reaching 2522 times. I decisively invested 32U at that time, with a cost of only 1 dollar. Opportunities like this are indeed rare. In comparison, I also caught the HOLO round in September, with an initial price of 450U. The returns of these two projects are worlds apart, which also highlights the importance of project selection.



Recently, I have been pondering the technical architecture of Walrus, especially how it realizes the concept of "censorship-resistant personal space." Simply put, it gives data control and privacy rights back to each user.

How is this achieved technically? The personal space established by users on the Walrus network is completely private, and no centralized institution can control or delete it. Your documents, social updates, and creative content are stored here; the system slices them into fragments, encrypts them, and then disperses them across global nodes. This way, even if a node encounters issues, your complete data will not be lost or tampered with.

More importantly, the new Seal feature allows you to lock your space. You can set permissions in detail: who can see what content. For example, a diary that only you can read, or a portfolio shared with a designated circle of friends. All these rules are automatically executed on-chain via smart contracts, protecting privacy while verifying that the data has not been tampered with.

Currently, there is an application called Collective Memory built on Walrus. Users upload "memories"—photos, videos—that are stored as verifiable assets on the blockchain. This prevents them from being hidden or deleted by centralized platform recommendation algorithms. The ownership and dissemination rights of content truly remain in the hands of users, which is how Web3 social should be.

Is it really possible to get a 1-dollar cost with 32U? The luck is truly incredible. Wait, regarding Walrus's permission settings, diaries are only visible to oneself, and portfolios are shared with designated friends... This is exactly what I've been wanting. We did indeed lose money during the previous HOLO round, but now we're focusing more on the technical fundamentals. The concept of Collective Memory is quite good, but can it truly replace centralized platforms? User habits are hard to change. This is what decentralization should be about—having data truly in your own hands feels more secure.

32U cost price 1 dollar? I need to backtest this data; it feels like there's arbitrage potential. Walrus's architecture is indeed impressive, but on-chain data shows that the locked-up amount is still relatively low. How should we assess the risk level? True Web3 social platforms will depend on who can survive the next bear market. Right now, everyone's talking too idealistically. When choosing projects, it's better to look at capital flow rather than just technology. Whale movements are the real signals. Collective Memory sounds good, but how to handle miner fees? That's what users are really concerned about. 2522x oversubscription feels a bit risky to me; usually, this is a prelude to a rug pull. Walrus's permission design indeed addresses pain points. It would be even better if the barrier to use could be lowered. Honestly, I would still go all-in, but I'm mentally prepared for liquidation.

32u earns 1 dollar in cost, this luck is really incredible, brother Damn Walrus, I need to take a close look at this architecture, it truly feels like data is under our control The Seal permissions are quite interesting, finally no longer being eaten by algorithms Collective Memory is going to be popular, truly a Web3 social vibe 2522x oversubscription? Luckily I didn't go all in, this round is a bit risky Walrus's anti-censorship design really hit home with me This is exactly what we want, not being arbitrarily deleted by platforms How did HOLO lose so much in that round? Can't really predict project choices Decentralized node storage is impressive, data really can't die Thumbs up for Seal's features, privacy rights finally have teeth

32U costs 1 dollar? Damn, is this real or just another story Always hearing about these oversubscription stories, next time should be my turn, but it never is Walrus's decentralized encryption system sounds good, but how many actually use it? Still too geeky Collective Memory is great, but I'm afraid it might be a flash in the pan; cold start is always the biggest problem We've been talking about privacy rights for years, but users actually don't care, really If this time it can avoid rug pulls, it already surpasses most projects

32U smashed to 1 dollar, this luck is really incredible. I need to learn how to choose. Wait, is this time really oversubscribed by 2522 times? That's a bit outrageous... Walrus's Seal feature sounds okay, but I wonder if it will become another abandoned project. I understand the logic of personal space encryption and decentralization, but will it actually be more troublesome to use in practice? I missed the HOLO round, and I still regret it. Picking the right project really depends on luck.

It costs 32U to earn 1 dollar, how fast must your hands be? Walrus's permission system is truly excellent; finally, there's a platform that doesn't rely on the old centralized approach. Both decentralized storage and on-chain contracts, the tech stack looks really comfortable. The idea of Collective Memory is great; finally, photos and videos can truly belong to oneself. 2522 times oversubscribed, your luck is really incredible. Choosing the right project is even more important than choosing the right track. I really lack this vision. Walrus's Seal feature essentially gives the privacy control back to users. Love it.

32U to earn 1 dollar in cost? Damn, I really have no luck at all. Walrus's privacy control is indeed powerful, but how many people actually use it? Talking about Web3 social every day, but it all comes down to the price of tokens. I'm a rookie when it comes to choosing projects, always a step behind. Collective Memory sounds good, but I'm worried it's more of a concept than practical application. I'm a bit confused about the Seal feature permissions—who will review the contract execution? Missed this one again, next time I’ll definitely get on board... Haha, I’m just fooling myself again.

32U costs only 1 dollar? That luck is truly incredible. I need to check quickly if there are still such hundredfold opportunities. Walrus's decentralized storage logic is indeed solid. I like the idea of data fragmentation distributed across nodes, which is much better than being casually deleted by big corporations. But to be honest, Seal's permission settings sound good, but whether they work in practice might be another story. Permission management has always been a weak point in Web3. The concept of Collective Memory is pretty good, but the key is having users. Without a user base, everything is pointless.

2522x oversubscription? Just here to cut the leeks, those behind won't be able to escape Walrus's architecture sounds good, but how many can really be implemented? Decentralized data indeed prevents censorship, smart contracts automatically execute permission settings, this logic has no flaws... just afraid it's another PPT dream Storing memories on the blockchain with Collective Memory? Nostalgia is nostalgia, but if something really happens, the chain can't save you Choosing the right project is truly a matter of luck, making 100x with 32U and losing 70% with 450U, the only difference is a word—luck
