**Web3 bridge built by trust - the seven-year journey of WalletConnect**

Since its birth in 2018, WalletConnect has been silently supporting every interaction in the on-chain world as an **open source protocol**. The iconic blue QR code has become a "bridge of trust" for 45 million users to cross wallets and applications - with a cumulative connection of more than **300 million times**, covering more than 600 wallets and more than 61,000 applications, with a penetration rate of more than 90%. In the hustle and bustle of meme coins, WalletConnect has proved with **seven years of technical resilience** that the real value comes from solving the essential problem - **secure and frictionless cross-chain connection**.

**Staking: The key to participating in the future of the network**

In 2025, with the launch of the token WCT, WalletConnect will enter a new stage of decentralization. Users can become the backbone of the network by staking WCT:

1. **High-yield incentives**: The current annualized staking yield is **22.72%**, and node operators can also add revenue through relay fees and credit grading rewards.

2. **Simple process**: Visit 👉 [stake.walletconnect.network](https://stake.walletconnect.network/), connect your wallet and select a lock-up period (1 week to 2 years). The more you stake and the longer the period, the higher the return.

3. **Community co-governance**: More than **106.5 million $WCT tokens have been staked**, and 142,000 token holders jointly protect network security. In the future, they will vote to decide on the fee model and ecological upgrade. @WalletConnect #WalletConnect
