Staking

Let’s be real:
You’ve probably used @WalletConnect and didn’t even notice.

You scanned a QR.
Connected your wallet.
Swapped some tokens. Minted an NFT. Voted in a DAO.

No browser extension.
No seed phrase risk.
Just seamless, secure connection.

But under that smooth experience?
WalletConnect is doing the heavy lifting — quietly powering the backbone of Web3.

Now they’ve launched their own token, $WCT , and opened up staking at staking.walletconnect.network.

I didn’t just use WalletConnect —
I invested in it.

The Invisible Layer That Powers Everything

WalletConnect isn’t a hype machine.
No promises of 100x. No memecoins. No noise.

But it connects over 40,000 dApps and 600+ wallets, including MetaMask, Trust Wallet, Rabby — to protocols like Uniswap, Aave, OpenSea, and more.

It’s the invisible communication layer behind nearly everything in crypto.

✅ End-to-end encrypted
🔗 Cross-chain session support
🛡️ Your keys never leave your wallet

We use it every day.
We just didn’t realize it.

WCT: More Than a Token Drop

When WalletConnect launched $WCT in late 2024, it wasn’t to jump on trends.
It was about giving power to users, decentralizing the protocol, and letting the community steer the ship.

I got in through the airdrop.
And I didn’t dump.
I staked.

Why I’m Staking $WCT

Staking $WCT gives me more than just passive rewards:

🪙 Weekly WCT payouts

🗳️ Governance rights over future decisions

🛠️ Support for decentralization of critical infra

I locked 2,000 WCT for 40 weeks.
No validators. No slashing. Just smooth, passive rewards every Thursday.

The process? Effortless:
1. Connect your wallet
2. Approve $WCT
3. Choose lock time (1–105 weeks)
4. Confirm
5. Done. You’re earning.

Your Lock = Your Voice

Staking isn’t just about yield — it’s about participation.

I was voting within weeks.
The first proposal? Should be WCT transferable?

Community said yes. Transfers went live in April 2025.
Now, full on-chain governance is on the way.
Real protocol control — handed to the users.
What’s Coming Next
WalletConnect is evolving fast.
Soon it won’t just connect wallets — it’ll connect Web3 itself.
What’s on the roadmap?
🌐 Permissionless nodes (anyone can run one, earn WCT)
🗳️ On-chain governance with full transparency
⚡ Persistent, smarter sessions
🧰 Dev tooling powered by $WCT
If Ethereum is Web3’s settlement layer,
WalletConnect is its messaging layer.

And now — it’s tokenized, live, and fully in your hands.

Why I’m All In

I don’t chase hype.
I look for tools I already use. Infrastructure that actually works.

WalletConnect powers the stuff we all rely on — in the background.
And with $WCT + staking, we can now own a piece of that infrastructure.

I use it.
I support it.
And now, I get rewarded for it.

Want to Stake? Here's How:

1. Go to staking.walletconnect.network
2. Connect your wallet
3. Approve $WCT
4. Choose lock time
5. Start earning every Thursday

Whether you received the airdrop or just want to back the future of Web3 infrastructure — this is your moment.

This isn’t just staking.
It’s ownership.
It’s participation.
It’s building the future — together.

Let’s decentralize the way we connect.

Key Takeaways:
SharpLink Gaming acquired 79,949 ETH for $259M, becoming the largest corporate ETH holder.$ETH holdings surged to 360,807, valued at ~$1.3B, surpassing BitMine Immersion.Strategic treasury moves and staking yield signal long-term Ethereum conviction.
SharpLink Gaming has reignited the Ethereum treasury race with a record-breaking $259 million purchase of $ETH , reclaiming its spot as the world’s largest publicly traded ETH holder. The acquisition of nearly 80,000 ETH at an average price of $3,238 comes amid rising institutional interest in crypto treasury strategies. With total holdings now exceeding 360,000 ETH, SharpLink is doubling down on its belief in Ethereum’s long-term value and utility.
SharpLink’s Strategic ETH Accumulation
The latest purchase marks SharpLink’s most aggressive ETH buy to date, pushing its total holdings to 360,807 ETH. This move follows a $49 million acquisition just days earlier, underscoring the company’s commitment to Ethereum as its primary treasury reserve asset. The acquisition not only reestablishes SharpLink’s dominance over BitMine Immersion but also reflects a broader trend of corporate crypto adoption. With ETH prices surging past $3,800, the timing of the buy signals confidence in Ethereum’s future performance.
Staking and Treasury Optimization
SharpLink isn’t just holding ETH, it’s putting it to work. Nearly all of its ETH holdings are staked, generating consistent yield and reinforcing its treasury strategy. The company has earned over 415 ETH in staking rewards since launching its crypto treasury initiative in June 2025. Additionally, SharpLink’s proprietary “ETH Concentration” metric has climbed 23% in just over a month, indicating growing exposure relative to its capital structure. With $257 million still unallocated, further ETH buys may be on the horizon.
Ethereum’s Institutional Momentum
SharpLink’s aggressive ETH accumulation reflects a broader shift in institutional sentiment. As Ethereum continues to evolve with staking, Layer-2 scaling, and real-world asset tokenization, companies are increasingly viewing ETH as a strategic asset. SharpLink’s move may inspire other firms to follow suit, especially as regulatory clarity improves and staking yields remain attractive. The Ethereum treasury race is far from over, and SharpLink is setting the pace.
