WalletConnect has quietly become one of the most trusted brands in the cryptocurrency infrastructure space in the turbulent Web3 world. It has established over 300 million secure connections for 45 million customers since 2018, reliably linking wallets, applications, and blockchains like never before.
If you have ever used a DeFi protocol, created a non-fungible token (NFT), or conducted a swap, you have likely seen this blue logo before. WalletConnect is everywhere, from MetaMask and Trust Wallet to Binance, Polymarket, and Jupiter.
But now, this core part of Web3 is moving to its next phase: decentralization.
The launch of the WalletConnect Token (WCT) represents a shift in the project's focus from providing the foundational infrastructure to creating a community-owned network without permissions.
