Recently, there's an economic design idea for a project that’s worth discussing. The Walrus system is quite ingenious, with the core being a deflationary flywheel.
Let's first look at $WAL. Every storage transaction directly burns 0.5% of the tokens to hedge against inflation. But that's not the most clever part—the real killer feature is its deep integration with Sui. Imagine that every time data is written to Walrus, it consumes and burns $SUI behind the scenes. How powerful is this mechanism? According to predictions, once the usage scales up, the amount of SUI burned in a year could reach 240 million tokens, which is about 15% of the circulating supply.
This double-layer burning logic—"the more people use it, the scarcer the tokens become"—provides a unique support framework for the asset value within the ecosystem from an economic perspective. Usage and token scarcity form a positive feedback loop, which is quite interesting in terms of design.

Wait, 240 million SUI just disappeared in a year? If it really gets adopted, Sui will have to skyrocket.

Wow, this deflationary flywheel is really something. Burning 240 million SUI in a year? The Sui ecosystem is about to take off again.

Wow, this burning mechanism is really intense. 240 million SUI are gone in a year? That gives the Sui ecosystem a lot of room for imagination.

Wow, this deflationary flywheel design is pretty intense. The double-layer burning directly locks in the selling pressure. I need to build a position and give it a try.

This deflationary flywheel design is truly brilliant, with double-layer burning directly locking in the supply.
