To be honest, I have always been conservative when investing in Web3 projects.
When faced with projects that promise high returns and tell extravagant stories, I tend to take a step back and first see if they can actually 'land'.
My first encounter with WalletConnect was when I was using Uniswap, at that time I just thought it was convenient to scan the code to connect my wallet. Later, I realized that almost every DApp and every chain I used silently relied on it behind the scenes. It was then that I realized it was not about 'grabbing attention', but about 'laying the foundation'.
So I seriously read their white paper and materials (document link: click here to view), and the more I read, the more I felt it was not like the common 'short-term projects' in Web3, but more like a system that has been validated by time and is willing to work long-term.
Now, it has opened up staking for WCT (staking.walletconnect.network), and I participated without hesitation.
As an investor, I value long-term stability, reasonable architecture, and projects that are willing to build trust. For me, WCT is not just a token, but also the key through which I can actively participate and co-build this ecosystem.
In this restless market, WalletConnect has not said too many pretty words, yet it has managed to support over 57,000 DApps and connect wallets over 240 million times. Such a project is worth me putting in funds, and even more worth me placing my trust in.
If Web3 is a world still under construction, then I want to be one of those truly 'under construction'.
