In the crypto world, #WalletConnect is no longer a new face.
It exists like air and water—when you open your wallet and scan to connect to a DApp, that familiar pop-up behind it is quietly supporting it. The 'connection standard' relied upon by millions of users and thousands of applications has almost become the 'underlying water, electricity, and coal' of Web3.
Just as August begins, WalletConnect has thrown out three heavy bombs, indicating that this 'infrastructure king' is stepping out from behind the scenes, starting a silent yet profound evolution:
> 🔹 Open voting for governance rights, the community truly holds power
> 🔹 Co-founder featured in (Business Insider), mainstream exposure accelerates
> 🔹 $WCT reward campaign fully launched, users can also share the cake
This is not just a 'Weekly Update', but more like a **declaration of Web3 infrastructure moving towards autonomy and prosperity**.

### 1. First Arrow: Open voting for governance proposals—Your wallet, your decision?
The latest governance proposal is online, **token holders and active users can officially participate in decision-making**.
What does this mean?
In the past, the development direction of WalletConnect was led by the core team. Now, **every $WCT holder has the right to decide**:
- Direction of protocol upgrades?
- How will the treasury be used?
- Do you support new chains, new wallets?
This is not just the realization of the 'decentralized' slogan, but also **handing over the fate of a global infrastructure to millions of users**.
> The real standard should not be defined by one company but shaped collaboratively by the ecosystem.

### 2. Second Arrow: Co-founder Jess Houlgrave featured in (Business Insider)—the 'breakout moment' for Web3 infrastructure
When @jesshoulgrave appears in a report from @BusinessInsider, it means much more than personal honor.
It signifies:
The mainstream world is beginning to focus on the 'connection layer', rather than just watching 'which coin is rising' or 'which celebrity is issuing NFTs'.
The report focuses on:
- How WalletConnect becomes a 'key puzzle piece for Web3 entry';
- The future evolution of decentralized identity and wallets;
- How ordinary people can safely enter the world of digital assets through simple connections.
This is an **authentication from 'geek tools' to 'public infrastructure'**.
When (Business Insider) is discussing you, it indicates that the transformation is irreversible.

### 3. Third Arrow: $WCT reward campaign fully launched—everyone who has used it can share a piece of the pie
What excites ordinary users the most is here: **new token incentive programs are rolling out**.
Although the details have not been fully disclosed, the signals are clear:
- No longer just 'projects making money with WalletConnect', but **users can also benefit from usage and promotion**;
- Possible aspects: high-frequency connection rewards, recommending new wallets, participating in governance voting, etc.;
- It is evolving from 'governance tokens' to 'ecological credits', and the value capture mechanism is starting to close the loop.
Imagine this:
When you connect to DApps daily using Rainbow, MetaMask, or Trust Wallet, you unknowingly accumulate a bunch of $WCT—**is the 'use-to-mine' era here?**
---
### 4. But the problem arises: When infrastructure starts 'issuing tokens for profit', can it still remain neutral?
- If incentives overly favor certain wallets or chains, **will it undermine the fairness of 'open standards'?**
- When governance rights are decentralized, **will decision-making efficiency decrease and miss key upgrade windows?**
- On a deeper level: **A 'connect everything' protocol, once it masters the entry power, will it become the next 'gatekeeper'?**
---
Conclusion:
WalletConnect's August kickoff feels like a meticulously planned 'Trinity' upgrade:
Democratization of governance + Mainstream branding + Value inclusion.
It reminds us:
The real Web3 revolution lies not in how many new projects are born, but in whether the 'invisible walls' that support everything are sufficiently open, fair, and sustainable.
When the connection itself begins to empower,
Perhaps, **the next 'everyone's share' Web3 dividend is hidden in that 'scan to connect' you click every day**.

Interactive time:
If you could participate in WalletConnect governance, what changes would you most want to promote?
Do you think we should reward 'high-frequency users' or 'deep developers'?
When connectors also start issuing tokens, is this ecological prosperity, or a change of original intention?
