The Walrus Protocol, a blockchain storage protocol built on Sui, has successfully distributed the second round of WAL token Airdrop to eligible community members. More than 80,000 wallet addresses successfully qualified for this airdrop, and the method of claiming is quite innovative: users need to exchange the Airdrop NFT to receive WAL tokens.
Airdrop details and rules
The snapshot date for this airdrop is June 30, 2025. The Walrus protocol aims to reward community members who have staked WAL natively and are eligible for this airdrop.
The distribution of the airdrop is not simply based on the amount of holdings, but rather employs a multi-dimensional assessment criteria, including the duration of staked WAL, the consistency of staking activities, and the total amount of staked WAL.
The minimum threshold requires users to stake at least 5 WAL tokens and maintain it for at least 1 day. It is important to note that the official statement clearly indicates that this airdrop is only for users who directly stake WAL, and does not include liquid staking positions.
How to receive Airdrop
Eligible users need to check whether their wallets have received the special NFT distributed by the Walrus protocol. This NFT is the proof for claiming the Airdrop.
Users need to visit the official airdrop website designated by Walrus, and after connecting their wallet, they can exchange the NFT for the corresponding WAL tokens. In the future, Walrus also promises to bring more airdrops and reward activities to the community, continuously giving back to the ecosystem supporters.
Walrus Market Performance and Outlook
As of August 25, 2025, according to data from exchanges such as Gate, the WAL token maintains a certain level of activity in the market. Looking back at its historical performance, WAL reached a historical high of $0.874222, demonstrating its market price potential.
Walrus, as a decentralized storage protocol focused on by Mysten Labs (the Sui public chain development team), has received support from top investment institutions including a16z crypto and Electric Capital, with financing reaching up to 140 million USD, and has high market expectations.
The protocol aims to provide a high-performance, secure, and low-cost decentralized storage solution, not only serving the Sui ecosystem but also planning to support multiple public chains such as Ethereum and Solana through cross-chain compatibility. The application scenarios cover media storage, AI datasets, decentralized websites, and blockchain historical data storage, among others.
How to respond to future Airdrop opportunities
For users who wish to participate in the future Airdrop of Walrus or other similar projects, it is recommended to pay attention to the following points:
First of all, actively participating in ecological interactions is fundamental. Just like the native staking required for this airdrop, genuine participation is often a core criterion for airdrops.
Secondly, pay attention to official announcements. Stay informed about changes in snapshot times and activity rules (for example, this time excluding liquid staking) to avoid missing opportunities due to information gaps.
Finally, manage your wallet assets well. Ensure that you have enough assets to meet the requirements at key snapshot times, and pay attention to wallet security.
Future Outlook
The Walrus Airdrop is not only a reward for supporters but also an important step in its ecological development. With the growing demand for decentralized storage, projects like Walrus, which possess both technical strength and a community foundation, are worth paying attention to in their future development.
For users, whether they are focused on Airdrop opportunities or optimistic about long-term value, understanding project dynamics and participating rationally is key.
