#WallectConnect continues to strengthen its position as the primary infrastructure of Web3 with several recent key achievements:
1. Institutional Integration (BitGo)
BitGo now supports WalletConnect integration through WalletKit SDK, allowing institutional users to access DeFi services — such as lending, staking, trading — directly from their self-custody wallets, without needing to move assets out of BitGo.
2. Significant Ecosystem Growth
By May 2025, @WalletConnect recorded more than 300 million connections, with 47.5 million unique wallets and 66,500 integrated applications, expanding the reach of Web3 to both individuals and institutions.
3. Towards Decentralization and Smart Automation
With the launch of the $WCT token for staking (over 121 million tokens staked) and ongoing initiatives like Smart Sessions (which support automated interactions via AI), WalletConnect is building a foundation of a fully decentralized and more sophisticated protocol.
4. Multi-Chain Expansion & High Security
This protocol supports various major networks (EVM, Solana, Bitcoin, etc.), using end-to-end encryption, as well as encrypted node structures, making it a trusted and secure solution for all users — from individuals to institutions.
Why This Matters
WalletConnect has become a 'trusted bridge' between wallets and blockchain applications — now increasingly used by large institutions.
The presence of staking and network decentralization allows this protocol to evolve into an autonomous and secure Web3 foundation.
The Smart Sessions feature paves the way for a smoother and more automated Web3 ecosystem, making it easier for users without compromising security.
