If you’ve ever tapped “Connect Wallet” on your favorite dApp, chances are you’ve already used @WalletConnect —without even realizing it.
What began as a simple way to link wallets and decentralized apps has now evolved into the invisible engine of Web3. And now, it’s more than just infrastructure—it’s a living, decentralized protocol, powered by its own native token: $WCT.
Welcome to the next era of Web3 connectivity.
🔗 A Unified Language for Wallets and Apps
Before @WalletConnect connecting to Web3 was chaotic. Developers had to build custom integrations for every wallet, while users struggled with compatibility issues, lost connections, and clunky interfaces.

And the results? Monumental:
🌐 170+ integrated wallets
👥 45 million users
🔒 Over 300 million secure Web3 connections
