WALRUS - 2025 paving the way for AI development in 2026
After the AI wave passed and is showing signs of recovery, Walrus has also risen with the trend.
Looking at the chart at the beginning of 2026, WAL is showing tight accumulation around the support zone of $0.13 - $0.14. What I like most is the "Redundancy via Erasure Coding" mechanism, which optimizes costs extremely well – something that current AI dApps are highly seeking.
Personal perspective:
🔹 Real Supply - Demand: Unlike other "pump and dump" projects, WALRUS has genuine buying pressure from the actual data storage needs of the Sui ecosystem. At the beginning of 2026, as AI Agents surge, the demand for storing model weights will be the key catalyst pushing the price upward.
🔹 Key Resistance: The $0.19 - $0.22 zone is a psychological barrier. If this zone is broken convincingly with strong volume, a target of $0.35 in Q2 is entirely feasible as capital flows from Layer 1 to Infrastructure.
In summary: WALRUS is a highly promising project. Beyond having major backers like a16z crypto (Andreessen Horowitz), Franklin Templeton, Electric Capital, and Y Combinator, AI will be the dominant trend in the near future.
