. @WalletConnect The initial purpose was to solve a very practical problem: desktop Dapps could not well accommodate the needs of users accessing them with mobile wallets. Thus, it designed a combination of relay network + QR codes, making cross-device wallet connections easy, secure, and seamless for the first time. This also provided many Web3 users with the true freedom of 'scan to connect' for the first time.
But this is just the beginning. As the demand for mobile browsers, plugin wallets, and non-EVM networks continues to grow, WalletConnect gradually expands to support on-chain login (SIWE), coexistence of multiple wallets, and a unified signing experience, while providing developers with toolkits such as AppKit and WalletKit, lowering the barrier for building on-chain products.
Today, WalletConnect serves millions of users across various scenarios such as transactions, social interactions, NFTs, and DeFi, with both African users operating wallets on feature phones and Wall Street institutions trading in the Web3 world on desktops. It has quietly established a key infrastructure for on-chain UX/DX.
In the next phase, WalletConnect aims not only to be a 'connector' but to become a public network for on-chain communication. The new WalletConnect Network has officially launched, and through $WCT as a token incentive, it promotes true decentralized collaboration among relay nodes, developers, and users within the network. This also marks a new starting point for @walletconnect as it transitions from a Web2-style company identity to dual entity governance with Reown and the WalletConnect Foundation.
The large-scale adoption of Web3 still lacks a universal communication layer—this is exactly the problem that #WalletConnect aims to solve. $WCT is not only an incentive carrier but also a passport that makes every on-chain interaction freer and safer.
