Walrus Mainnet Launch and Listing Details

The Protocol launching on March 27, enabling people to begin using its decentralized network for storage. The system achieves this by dividing data into shards and distributing them across numerous nodes across the globe. This is done to allow for rapid access and consistent data retrieval even if nodes fail in some parts of the network.

As part of the Mainnet launch, MEXC has revealed listing the WAL trading pair under for USDT and USDC. Below are the important trading times:

USDT Trading: Resumes at 10:00 UTC on March 27

USDC Trading: Starts at 10:10 UTC on the same day

Deposits: Already active

Withdrawals: Start at 10:00 UTC on March 28

Convert Support: WAL will be available for free conversions from 11:00 UTC on March 27

This listing will provide users with easy buying, selling, and trading of the respective coin fast, without needing to handle intricate trading orders. MEXC Convert provides fixed-rate trades free from slippage or order matching, so it is friendly to new traders. Additionally, just like the coin, there are many crypto listing soon. 

Walrus Tokenomics: More than 60% of Supply to Community

The Walrus team has also provided extensive tokenomics, with a heavy emphasis on community development and support. The overall supply is limited to 5 billion coins, and over 60% of the supply is set aside to benefit the ecosystem.

• 10% for early user airdrops and future distributions

• 43% for community grants, dev support, and incentives

• 30% for core contributors and early builders

• 10% to subsidize storage fees for node operators

• 7% for those who participated in the $140 million funding round

The distribution plan illustrates the protocol's intention to enable developers, early supporters, and storage node operators while securing long-term project sustainability.

WAL Token Price Prediction

A lot of attention is being drawn to the prediction of the price of the Walrus coin upon its launch. To gauge, most of them compare it to the TON TOKEN (TON) whose total supply is also 5 billion. The listing price of TON was approximately $0.058 and it is now trading at the value of $0.02234.

Keeping the similarity in overall supply in view, I analyzed that it would list initially at $0.02 to $0.05. Yet one should remember that token performance does depend on demand, market factors, and listing on exchanges. Though it is launching currently on MEXC only, possible listings on other bigger exchanges such as Binance in the future might see this altcoin with more demand and rising prices.

Some analysts believe that if the Walrus project takes off and adoption gets larger, the token's price might go up to $2 to $5 in the future. That is, of course, assuming and speculation and depending on how the platform performs after it launches. Apart from this, check the Rats Kingdom project which is also set to get listed on March 28.
