How Community Governance Forked a Relay Rule (Case Study)
When a proposed relay rule threatened performance trade-offs, the WalletConnect community stepped in.
Using $WCT governance, relay operators and dApp developers voted to fork the proposal—creating a new path that balanced uptime with decentralization.
This wasn’t just debate; it was action. The vote led to a live protocol upgrade, showcasing how Web3 governance works in real time.
With WalletConnect, relay policies aren’t handed down—they’re built with the community.
$WCT gave token holders the tools to shape the protocol and protect network quality. This case proves: in Web3, the users rule.
