Why I’m Staking $WCT on WalletConnect (And Why It Makes Total Sense)
If you’ve ever used a DeFi app like Uniswap, OpenSea, or PancakeSwap, chances are you’ve already used WalletConnect maybe without even realizing it.
It’s the invisible bridge that lets your crypto wallet interact with decentralized apps (dApps) safely and securely.
WalletConnect has quietly powered the Web3 ecosystem for years. Now, they’re taking things to the next level with the launch of their own token, $WCT, and a brand-new staking platform at staking.walletconnect.network.
I’ve always relied on WalletConnect as a user. But now, I’ve joined as a staker too. Here’s why I made that move.
What Makes WalletConnect So Important
Trusted by over 600 wallets and more than 40,000 dApps
Securely connects users and apps without sacrificing privacy
Powers a decentralized protocol that’s foundational to Web3
Staking $WCT: Why It’s Worth It
Staking isn’t just about passive income — it’s also about participating in the evolution of the protocol. When you stake $WCT, you:
Earn weekly rewards (distributed every Thursday)
Gain voting power on key proposals
Help shape the future of WalletConnect
Personally, I chose to lock my tokens for a longer period — the rewards are better, and it gives my votes more weight. And I’ll be honest, the process was surprisingly smooth, even for someone who’s not a tech expert.
How to Stake WCT (Step-by-Step)
1. Head to the official staking page
2. Connect your wallet
3. Approve the WCT token
4. Choose how much you want to stake and how long to lock it
5. Confirm — and that’s it, you’re in
The Bigger Picture: What WalletConnect Is Building
Staking WCT isn’t just about earning rewards it’s about contributing to a broader vision. WalletConnect is building an open, decentralized communication layer for Web3 wallets. Some of what’s coming includes:
Public nodes that anyone can run
Full on-chain governance
Developer tools to grow the ecosystem
