WalletConnect has subtly reported the connections that underpin your preferred dApps and wallets since the early days of Web3.
The protocol that has withstood time, volatility, and innovation is the unseen layer that makes the onchain world seamless, safe, and accessible. The network is now entering a new era, one that is decentralized, permissionless, and owned by the community it has served since 2018, thanks to the launch of the WalletConnect Token (WCT) & live staking portal at 👇 https://staking.walletconnect.network/
From Foundation to Ubiquity: A Trusted Infrastructure Since 2018 :
@WalletConnect was founded in 2018 with the single goal of facilitating safe and easy connections between wallets and dApps. Users had to manage dozens of wallets and protocols in a disjointed ecosystem, but WalletConnect brought everything together with a single QR code, connection layer, and trusted infrastructure. WalletConnect has grown over time to become Web3's default connectivity layer, supporting: More than 700 wallets More than 61,000 decentralized applications More than 300 million connections in total Over 45 million distinct users worldwide You've probably used WalletConnect if you've used MetaMask, Trust Wallet, Binance, Rainbow, Phantom, Polymarket or any other well-known dApp.
It is as common in cryptocurrency as Visa is in conventional banking. Its vital infrastructure actually powered 18 million connections for the top eight Web3 wallets in March 2025 alone.
Enter the WalletConnect Token (WCT):
Decentralizing the Network
The protocol is moving into a new stage with the introduction of the WalletConnect Token (WCT), moving from trusted infrastructure to a network owned by the community. WCT is more than just a token; it gives the WalletConnect Network practical uses.
Staking: Enable network stability and receive rewards
Governance: Participate in key proposals and protocol upgrades
Rewards: Receive performance-based rewards such as uptime and latency
Fees (future): Pay for connection services when the network becomes more mature
$WCT is supported by leading node operators such as Consensys, Ledger, Figment, Reown, Everstake, Kiln, and Nansen — further establishing the network's decentralization and strength.
$WCT Tested and Resilient :
Operated consistently throughout several market cycles.
Remained developer-friendly, open, and transparent.
Centered on integration and adoption rather than speculation
While overhyped layer 1s and flimsy meme coins made headlines, WalletConnect emerged as the unseen force behind true value, subtly facilitating billions of onchain transactions, swaps, NFT interactions, governance actions, and more.
