WalletConnect: A Silent Web3 Revolution - After 7 Years of Dormancy, It Becomes the Trillion-Dollar Ecological Cornerstone! While 99% of Projects Are Speculating, 1% of Builders Are Changing the World
Today, we will tell you about a severely underrated Web3 "water, electricity, and coal" project - WalletConnect. This is not just another fleeting "hotspot", but the TCP/IP protocol of the blockchain world that has served 45 million users and processed 20 million requests monthly!
Part One: Seven Years on the Sidelines, Creating the "Golden Passage" of Web3
While other project teams were busy launching tokens and harvesting profits in 2018, WalletConnect chose a lonely path: building the most boring yet most important bridge.
Numbers don’t lie: this is the "vascular system" of Web3
🚀 Processes 32 connection requests per second - higher than most public chain TPS
💰 Supports 90% of global DEX trading entrances - including Uniswap and PancakeSwap
🌐 Covers 97% of active wallets - from MetaMask to cold storage Ledger
"Without WalletConnect, today's DeFi might still be stuck in the primitive era of 'copy-pasting addresses'!"
Part Two: $WCT - A Carefully Planned "Infrastructure Uprising"
In 2024, while the market is still chasing various "meme coins", WalletConnect dropped an ecological bomb: the $WCT token.
This is not a vaporware token, but:
🔥 Web3's B2B2C Super Fuel
Developers who stake $WCT can gain priority access to APIs (similar to AWS credits)
Businesses pay $WCT for bulk purchase of connection services (contracted with Binance and Coinbase)
⚡ A "Quantum Leap" in Decentralized Governance
Token holders vote to decide:
Whether to support new blockchains (through the approved Berachain integration)
Fee distribution ratio (currently 30% allocated for protocol development)
📈 Data Explosion:
In just 3 months, staking volume surpassed 100 million tokens - higher than many Layer 1 staking volumes
Market maker Wintermute exclusively provided $50 million in liquidity
The Ultimate Killer Feature: The "Nerve Center" of Account Abstraction (AA)
