WalletConnect, a protocol that connects crypto wallets to apps, has launched its WCT token on Solana — its third chain after Optimism's OP Mainnet and Ethereum — along with an airdrop of 5 million tokens set for active Solana users.

The Solana expansion uses Wormhole's native token transfers (NTT) framework, allowing WCT to move natively — not as a wrapped token — across all three supported chains. The Solana launch comes less than a month after WCT went live on Ethereum, also via NTT, following its original debut on Optimism's OP Mainnet.

To support the launch, the WalletConnect Foundation said it will airdrop 5 million WCT to active Solana users through partners including Phantom, Jupiter, Backpack, and Solflare. The 5 million tokens are part of the 185 million WCT the foundation earmarked for airdrops last September, founder and director Pedro Gomes told The Block. This will be the second major WCT airdrop,
