Most takes on $WAL focus on costs or Sui integration
But the real edge → Walrus fits AI + gaming workloads perfectly
Not everything needs permanent storage
AI datasets, skins, maps, media → need availability for cycles, not forever
That’s exactly what $WAL epoch based design delivers

Sui's direct lineage is quite significant.
Repeatedly confirmed, from $CETUS, $DEEP to $WAL. Today, I recommend a Sui direct lineage AI project @DeAgentAI.
1/ Why is it called Sui direct lineage?
In August 2025, DeAgentAI announced it received strategic investment from Momentum, the leading Dex in the Sui ecosystem. Momentum is currently the DEX with the highest TVL on Sui, and co-founder ChefWEN is an early engineer from Meta Libra, with the team having a deep accumulation in the Move language.
More importantly, DeAgentAI is the only external investment made by Momentum so far.
2/ Huge bonus point - Backed by Silicon Valley venture capital
Recently, DeAgentAI announced it has received strategic investment from Silicon Valley giant Valkyrie Fund, with total financing exceeding $10 million.
Valkyrie Fund was established in 2021 and is headquartered in California, focusing on early-stage investments. It mainly targets early tech startups with disruptive potential, covering areas such as AI infrastructure, sustainability, and deep tech.
According to their official website, Valkyrie Fund's current investments in the crypto space include:
World Coin
Shima Capital
DeAgentAI is the third.
3/ Building a trustworthy AI agent ecosystem
Returning to the project itself, the core issues DeAgentAI aims to solve are actually three:
Consensus issue: LLMs are essentially probabilistic, the same input may produce different outputs. We can't have AI say A today and B tomorrow.
Identity issue: Similar to the double-spending problem in blockchain. The same AI agent cannot give contradictory instructions at the same time; it must maintain a single, consistent identity state at any point in time.
Continuity issue: AI agents must have reliable memory; past decisions and commitments should influence future behavior. An amnesiac AI agent is like a politician who forgets campaign promises, completely losing credibility.
Solution: DeAgent
DeAgent = Lobe (Cognitive Engine) + Memory (State Memory) + Tools (Execution Tools)
The key lies in its inheritance of the underlying distributed system's properties: if the system guarantees data immutability, the definition of the AI agent becomes immutable; if the system has a strong consensus mechanism, it can ensure the AI's identity and continuity.
In summary, among AI projects in the Sui ecosystem, this may be the most worthy of long-term attention.
