#walrus @Walrus 🦭/acc $WAL
Imagine a digital age where every byte of data you create from photos to ideas to transactions becomes a living, tradeable asset. Once lost in centralized silos (big tech servers), data now finds a new home: you. This is the world of Walrus, where humans and walruses swim together in a data ocean powered by blockchain.
At first glance, Walrus may sound like a curious name perhaps inspired by the curious, social marine mammal. But behind the playful branding lies a serious technological leap: a decentralized data storage and management platform built for the AI era and designed to redefine how data is stored, verified, monetized, and controlled.
What Walrus Is ?
Walrus.xyz isn’t just another crypto project — it’s a developer platform on the Sui blockchain that enables secure, scalable storage and programmatic use of large unstructured data (files, AI datasets, media, etc.). Unlike central servers where corporations hold your data, Walrus puts control back in user hands while making that data programmable and monetizable.
The technology uses a custom algorithm (called Red Stuff) to slice data into coded fragments stored across many nodes. Even if some nodes go offline, your data remains recoverable a design much like how a walrus herd sticks together through rough seas.
WAL TokenThe Heart of the Ecosystem
At the center of the Walrus universe is the WAL token a native digital asset that fuels the network.
WAL is used as:
Payment for storage services
Staking and network security (delegated proof-of-stake model)
Governance (token holders influence future network parameters)
By staking WAL, users can earn rewards, help validate data integrity, and participate in maintaining a decentralized network much like collaborative walruses building safety through community.
Importantly, WAL has deflationary mechanisms where tokens are burned in certain transactions, reducing supply over time and potentially increasing value.
Binance Listing & Square Data
A major milestone for the project was when WAL got listed on Binance’s Alpha and Spot exchanges on October 10, 2025 meaning it became easily tradeable for global investors.
As part of this growth, Binance’s Square (creator pad and campaign) distributed 300,000 WAL tokens in early January 2026, which caused a significant spike in trading volume up to +472% showing strong short-term interest from the market.
But beyond hype, data from Binance Square suggests fundamental revenue remains modest, indicating that long-term success hinges on adoption and real utility, not just short bursts of trading activity.
Why It Matters ? For Humans & Data
In our story, the human plays the role of data steward and creator. The walrus represents resilience, community, and decentralized collaboration. Together, they embody the shift from data captivity (central servers) to data ownership and market participation.
With AI demanding trusted, verifiable, large datasets, platforms like Walrus offer a bridge between the human world and machine intelligence where data isn’t just stored, but empowered.
In a world rushing toward AI, decentralized storage like Walrus could be the backbone of data integrity and WAL, its token, may be the currency of this new data frontier.

Welcome to the new CreatorPad, where you can now participate and track your rankings and earnings easier!
A short recap of what it is–CreatorPad is a new monetization platform for Binance Square creators to earn rewards for high-quality content creation. Creators can participate in various campaigns organized by Web3 projects to earn generous rewards. They can also track their mindshare score and rankings on the CreatorPad Mindshare leaderboard in real time. Unlike traditional paid project promotions, CreatorPad operates with full transparency. Each campaign’s task details, airdrop rules, and reward criteria are clearly listed on the campaign page, allowing users to review them anytime to ensure all content comply with established standards.

With our first major update after receiving lots of valuable community feedback, here are the changes we’ve made!
Update 1: Introducing Square Points
Square Points is a point system that ranks creators in leaderboards; to earn points, you can complete tasks under different project campaigns. It is a scoring system designed to evaluate user activity within Binance Square that determines the eligibility and ranking for different campaigns.

Square Points are calculated daily based on the sum of points from your content, engagement, and trades on Binance exchange (wallet excluded).Points summary would be updated daily on CreatorPad at 09:00 UTC.In project campaigns, the total points on the leaderboard are a cumulative sum of daily points over the campaign period.To check your daily points breakdown, click on the Project leaderboard and it will be displayed under “My Points” 
Update 2: Bonus points for effective engagement and trades
You can receive up to 5 points per day per project from engagement received by a verified account on the day of posting eligible project content.
Effective Engagement

If we discover the same batch of creators misusing the engagement bonus by engaging with the same batch of users, you will be DISQUALIFIED from the project campaign or CreatorPad. If you see any creators involved in this activity, please report them via the report survey form: Follow bonus points will only be counted once per creator, and likes will only be counted once per post.
You can receive up to 25 points per day per project from the effective trades you've made on the Binance exchange (wallet excluded).
Effective Trade

Only new trades and position openings after the campaign launch date will be counted.For the project campaign, only trades involving the tokens specified on the campaign page will be counted.Both buying and selling tokens contribute to the Square bonus points at the current stage.
Update 3: Non-eligible content and point reduction for lower quality content

Update 4: Report Survey Form
We’ve introduced a new CreatorPad misconduct form for reporting creators or accounts you suspect of violating our Terms and Conditions, including using AI-generated content to unfairly farm rewards or engagement, or employing bots to manipulate campaign results. 
We will carefully review every report and will respond via your registered feed secretary within 7 days.
Update 5: Removing the Creator Leaderboard
The Square Creator Leaderboard has been removed. Points and rankings will now be based only on participation in specific project campaigns. Each leaderboard will be tagged to a specific project campaign for clearer competition.
Overall summary and breakdown of how the new point system looks like:
You can earn up to 105 points per day per leaderboard. 

Points breakdown of Posting task

Posts detected to contain a high proportion of AI-generated content will have their overall score per post deweighted to maintain fairness and authenticity.Posting duplicated, copied, or substantially similar content—whether from other users, previous submissions, or external sources—is strictly prohibited. Any user found to have posted duplicated content will be deemed ineligible for rewards. To maintain a fair and quality-driven campaign environment, users are limited to a maximum of 5 posts within any 30-minute window. Posting content excessively in a short period (e.g., 10 posts in 10 minutes) is considered spam and is prohibited.Users must keep all campaign-related content posts publicly accessible and online for a minimum of one (1) month after the official end date of the campaign. Removing, deleting, or making campaign content private before the end of this retention period will result in disqualification from receiving rewards.
Notes:
You can see a clear summary of the points earned for each piece of content in your Square Points tab. More detailed breakdowns are coming soon to help you understand your scoring even better. Please note that videos and livestreams are currently not counted; they will be included in future updates. Stay tuned!
