In the Web3 landscape, if wallets are the “keys,” then WalletConnect acts as the “universal adapter.” It makes connecting your wallet to any DApp seamless and secure — like plugging in a USB. We use it all the time, often without realizing that it has quietly become one of the core infrastructures of on-chain interaction.

+ What is WCT?

WCT represents WalletConnect’s first step toward decentralization.

The token is designed to reward vital participants in the network — such as node operators, wallets, and developers — and empowers the broader community to engage in governance. In essence, WCT aims to make the connection protocol more open, community-driven, and autonomous.

+ How the Network Works

WalletConnect has developed a system of service and gateway nodes supported by relayers, enabling encrypted and high-availability communication. The next phase involves decentralizing node control and encouraging more contributors to stake WCT and participate in protocol governance. This isn’t just a concept — it's a real, evolving infrastructure meant to last.

+ Mass Adoption and Real Usage

WalletConnect currently supports over 600 wallets and 40,000+ DApps, with more than 275 million total connections. Whether you're using MetaMask, Uniswap, or other dApps — chances are WalletConnect is the invisible bridge making it all work. This level of traction and utility is rare even among leading Web3 projects.

+ Team Rebrand & Clear Direction

The team has recently rebranded to Reown, with a renewed focus on improving the user experience. They’ve introduced two core product stacks:

AppKit: An all-in-one toolkit for developers — including features like user onboarding, wallet login, and push messaging.

WalletKit: Designed to enhance wallet UX, improve interaction performance, and integrate analytics via Reown Cloud.

Additionally, Reown has laid out a three-stage roadmap to address cross-chain interaction challenges — starting with building infrastructure, adopting new standards like EIP-7702 and Session Keys, and eventually offering a smooth, user-friendly experience for cross-chain transactions — as simple as using Alipay.

+ WCT: More Than Just a Token

WCT serves multiple functions:

A means to pay for network services

A tool for ecosystem incentives

A staking asset for node operators

A governance token for community decision-making

Owning WCT isn’t just about earning — it’s also about having a say and helping shape the future of decentralized connectivity.

+ WalletConnect — now Reown — has been in the game for years. With a solid foundation and a strong vision for reducing friction in Web3, it’s proving to be one of the essential middleware protocols quietly powering the next wave of blockchain adoption.
