@WalletConnect – Ushering in a New Era of Onchain Connectivity
A Core Infrastructure Layer for Web3
Since 2018, WalletConnect has been a foundational pillar of the Web3 ecosystem, enabling seamless, secure communication between wallets and decentralized applications. Integrated with over 700 wallets and 61,000 apps, the network has powered more than 300 million connections and served over 45 million users globally.
A Recognizable Symbol of Trust in Web3
That blue WalletConnect logo? It’s everywhere—trusted by millions and now as recognizable in crypto as Visa is at checkout. From DeFi to NFTs, from swaps to staking, WalletConnect is the invisible but essential force behind a smooth onchain user experience.
Entering the Next Phase: Decentralization and Community Ownership
The launch of the WalletConnect Token ($WCT ) marks a critical turning point in the project’s evolution toward becoming a fully decentralized, permissionless, and community-owned network. The WCT unlocks four powerful utilities:
Fees: WCT will be used to pay for future network services under a community-governed fee structure.
Staking: Users can stake $WCT to help secure the network and earn rewards.
Rewards: Contributors such as node operators and wallet providers will be incentivized through performance-based token rewards.
Governance: Token holders will actively shape the future of the network by voting on major proposals.
Growth Backed by Real Demand
In recent months, WalletConnect has proven its product-market fit in spectacular fashion. Four oversubscribed token sale rounds raised over $10 million, including:
A CoinList Community Round that attracted 18,000 participants from 100+ countries
A private Echo sale that hit its $500K cap in just 11 secondS
A Bitget LaunchX round that raised $4M within two hours, with over 67,000 participants.
