You may be using @WalletConnect every day when you operate on-chain, just not paying much attention to it — it's that blue button that connects wallets and various applications. Whether you're swapping tokens with MetaMask or buying something on an NFT platform, it often serves as the bridge behind the scenes.

#WalletConnect has been around since 2018, going through several market ups and downs, and has remained quite stable. Now, over 45 million users globally rely on it to connect, with a cumulative usage exceeding 300 million times, over 700 wallets, and more than 60,000 applications can utilize it. Saying it is the "connection hub" on the chain is not an exaggeration.

Recently, it launched its own token $WCT, which is not meant for speculation, but more like a credential for everyone to participate. For example, you can stake $WCT to support network operations and earn some rewards; you can also vote to decide how the network will develop in the future, such as charging rules and reward distribution, giving holders a say.

Previous token sales were very popular, with community rounds oversubscribed by many times, and major institutions like Consensys and Ledger helping to operate nodes, indicating a strong recognition from institutions.

In simple terms, it functions like a "universal interface" on the chain; you don't have to download it specifically, but you can't do without its connection. Now with $WCT, ordinary people can transition from merely using it to participating in this network, developing forward together with it. Perhaps it's worth re-evaluating WalletConnect.
