Crust, Storj, Siacoin etc. I think it's because it has actual utility so there is little to really speculate on and "hype" about. Also the staking for it if I remember right is not very enticing compared to staking something like SUI in that it has long lockups and reward windows. It's kind of like building a computer. People get excited about a new graphics card, a new faster CPU, RGB lights, A cool case etc. But no one ever really gets excited about the hard drive because all it does is hold data and is out of sight out of mind. I think Walrus will really shine once we see actual AAA game use cases for it with in game NFT's. Like if this whole pokémon thing eventually comes out as true and we find it's leveraging Walrus for NFT's, then that could be an excellent hype use case that drives people into the project knowing really big companies are using it, especially an IP like that.
