#WalletConnect and the Web3 Ecosystem: A Story of Mutual Growth and Prosperity
The value of a connection protocol ultimately needs to be proven by the ecosystem. The 7-year growth history of #WalletConnect is a narrative of co-prosperity with the Web3 ecosystem.
In its early stages, it started by supporting Ethereum's single chain. With the rise of the DeFi wave, it quickly connected to public chains like BSC and Polygon, providing connection support for leading protocols such as Aave and Compound. This strategy of "keeping pace with ecological needs" allowed it to establish a foothold during the Web3 explosion and made more developers realize that reliable connections are a prerequisite for the success of DApps.
When NFTs became the new trend, #WalletConnect quickly adapted to the special needs of platforms like Opensea and Blur, launching the "NFT Bulk Transfer Connection Model" to solve the connection stability issues of large digital asset transfers. This ability to "evolve on demand" has kept it in sync with ecological hotspots.
Today, its ecological landscape covers multiple dimensions including wallets, DApps, public chains, and tool services: over 600 wallets use it as the default connection solution, more than 65,000 DApps have integrated its SDK, and over 170 public chains recommend it as a connection protocol. This pattern of "full ecological coverage" has transformed #WalletConnect from an "optional tool" into "infrastructure."
The launch of the $WCT token further elevates the co-construction of the ecosystem to a new height. Through the "Ecosystem Incentive Fund," it will support more innovative applications based on WalletConnect, from cross-chain social tools to enterprise-level connection solutions, continuously expanding the boundaries of the ecosystem. In the vast expanse of Web3, WalletConnect is not a lonely voyager, but rather the guiding ship leading the entire ecosystem forward.
