Walrus Sessions 2 officially comes to an end

First of all, thank you to every builder who participated in the Tools Builder session. The level of creativity, technical execution, and experimentation we saw over the past weeks was genuinely impressive.

Teams explored new ways to build from infrastructure on Walrus. It was exciting to see developers push beyond traditional Web2 patterns and experiment with what community tooling can look like on decentralized infrastructure.

A huge thank you as well to everyone who shared demos, shipped MVPs, gave feedback, tested products, and supported other builders throughout the event. Community participation is what makes initiatives like this valuable.

Below might be the winners but picking them was not easy, not at all and we hope you have learned something from this latest Session and will continue to participate.

Congratulations to all winners, and thank you again to everyone who built with Walrus during Session 2.

We're excited to continue supporting builders experimenting with decentralized applications, storage, and new onchain primitives across the ecosystem.

Also want to add that we have listened to your feedback and we have a team already working on implementing changes.

In case you have read this far, more Walrus Sessions soon, might be some info regarding that in our latest X-space 👀
