#WalletConnect （WCT）As a core infrastructure protocol for Web3, its token airdrop has become one of the most anticipated on-chain benefits in 2025. Currently, the official allocation is 185 million WCT for multiple rounds of airdrops, with some users earning over 1 million rewards by participating in activities or node operations. Below is the complete strategy and operational guide for receiving high-value airdrops.
1. Airdrop eligibility and core conditions
The eligibility for the WCT airdrop is primarily based on two types of activities:
• User activities: Users need to connect to DApps through the WalletConnect protocol and complete trade signatures. The more historical connection times, the larger the reward share. For example, active users in the Solana ecosystem can claim a large allocation from 5 million WCT.
• Contributor activities: Developers contributing to open-source projects (such as CAIP, EIP proposals) or contributors to the WalletConnect ecosystem development toolkit (SDK) can receive a 1% airdrop share.
Key snapshot time: The first round of airdrop snapshots was completed in September 2024, but the snapshot time for subsequent rounds (such as the Solana airdrop) should be monitored through official announcements.
2. High-yield claiming paths
• Exchange activities:
• Binance: Connect your wallet and deposit $WCT to share 6.5 million tokens; some users earned hundreds of rewards through early participation.
• Gate.io: Stake USDT/GT/WCT to receive real-time rewards every hour, with annualized returns of up to 335.8%.
• Node operations: To become a relay node, users need to stake WCT, with an annualized return of 85%, as well as governance rights and additional airdrop quotas.
• Multi-wallet strategy: Link multiple wallet addresses with GitHub accounts to increase airdrop chances. For example, Backpack issues secondary airdrops to Diamond level users, randomly selecting 500 lower-level users.
3. Operational steps and pitfalls guide
1. Registration and verification: Visit https://airdrop.walletconnect.network/, connect your wallet and bind your email/GitHub.
2. Task completion:
• Users need to complete at least 10 trade signatures in supported DApps (such as Uniswap, OpenSea).
• Developers need to submit open-source code to WalletConnect's GitHub repository.
3. Claiming and cashing out: Airdrop tokens may not be transferable initially (such as the initial lock on the Optimism chain) and will require waiting for official withdrawal to be opened.
Risk warning:
• Be wary of fake airdrop links; any website asking for private keys is a scam.
• Exchange activities should be cautious of selling pressure risks, for example, Bitget's WCT opening price is 40% lower than OKX, and arbitrage requires quick actions.
4. Future opportunities and strategies
@WalletConnect plans to continue airdrops through multi-chain expansion (such as Solana, Avalanche), and users holding WCT and participating in governance may receive priority for subsequent rewards. It is recommended to keep an eye on official announcements to maximize returns through staking and ecological contributions.
Conclusion: The WCT airdrop is not only a short-term profit opportunity but also an entry point for deep participation in Web3 infrastructure construction. Through compliant operations and multi-dimensional participation, ordinary users can also aim for million-token rewards.
