WalletConnect (WCT)
Before exploring what a Web3 wallet is, imagine the role of your everyday wallet. It carries essentials like money, ID cards, and maybe even a personal memento. A Web3 wallet offers similar functionality—but within the digital space—and extends far beyond that.
Instead of holding paper cash, Web3 wallets manage access to digital currencies and tokens, allowing users to connect directly with decentralized platforms (dApps), bypassing third parties altogether.
These wallets are paving the way for the next phase of the internet by revolutionizing how individuals manage digital ownership, identity, and value. Web3 wallets serve as digital portals—not only to store cryptocurrencies, but also to interact with blockchain-based services, access decentralized finance (DeFi), collect NFTs, establish on-chain identities, join online communities, and unlock a wide range of decentralized use cases.
A standout use case is seen in the integration of WCT (WalletConnect Token), a native digital asset designed to power and incentivize participation across the WalletConnect ecosystem. WCT enables seamless interaction between users and dApps, supports governance decisions, and offers utility within various decentralized applications. Its inclusion boosts the Web3 wallet experience by adding value and utility for both everyday users and developers.
$WalletConnect, founded by Pedro Gomes in 2018, has become a critical infrastructure project in the Web3 space. With WCT now part of the ecosystem, WalletConnect continues to evolve as a key player in shaping the future of decentralized connectivity and wallet interoperability.
