If you’ve been around Web3 for a while, you’ve probably done this a hundred times: you open a dApp, click “Connect Wallet”, scan a QR, and boom — you’re in.
That’s @WalletConnect doing its magic.
It’s been the invisible bridge between your wallet and the decentralized world for years, quietly making things work while you focus on trading, minting, or staking.
But here’s the exciting part…
WalletConnect isn’t just staying in the background anymore.
Now, it’s giving the community a way to actually own a piece of the bridge — with the WalletConnect Token ($WCT).
So, Why Create a Token?
Simple. WalletConnect wanted to go beyond being just “the connection tool” and give the people who use it a real role in its future.
$WCT is that role.
It’s not just a coin to trade — it’s your ticket to help shape, secure, and grow the network.
What Makes WCT Useful
Forget meme coins with no plan — WCT actually does things:
Stake it: Lock your WCT to help keep the network secure. You earn rewards, and you’re literally powering the system.
Vote with it: Decisions about upgrades, fees, and features are made by the community. In fact, the token only became tradable after a community vote in April 2025.
Future fees: Soon, dApps and wallets will be able to pay network fees in WCT — creating real demand, not just hype.
It’s Not Stuck on One Chain
WCT lives on Optimism, Ethereum, and Solana — and thanks to Wormhole tech, it’s native on each chain.
No wrapping, no clunky swaps.
Whether you’re into L2 efficiency or Solana speed, WCT has a home in your world.
The Numbers Right Now
Total Supply: 1B WCT
In Circulation: ~186M
Current Price: ~$0.30
All-Time High: ~$1.37 (May 2025)
Staked: 121M+ WCT by nearly 50,000 people
Fresh Airdrop: 5M WCT sent to Solana wallets in 2025 (~$3M worth at drop time)
An Unusual Start
When WCT launched, you couldn’t sell it.
It was non-transferable — deliberately — so that the first holders were aligned with the mission, not just looking to cash out.
Only after the April 2025 vote did the market open up. That’s governance in action, for real.
WalletConnect’s Reach
This isn’t a small, experimental project.
Over 500 wallets and dApps already use WalletConnect.
In 2024, connections grew 340%.
More than 4.1 million unique wallets used it last year.
WCT is being added to a protocol the industry already trusts — not something that’s starting from scratch.
The Market Journey
Launch price was around $0.28 in April 2025.
By late May, it shot past $1.30 before cooling down to the $0.30 range now.
Short-term traders are eyeing $0.38–$0.40 as the next breakout level, but for believers in the tech, the real value is in the role WCT plays in the network.
Why It’s Worth Watching
Every time you click “Connect Wallet” you’re touching WalletConnect.
With WCT, you’re not just using the bridge — you can be one of the people who owns it, votes on its future, and earns from helping it run.
In a space where hype fades fast, WCT is tied to infrastructure that’s already proven and growing.
That’s not just another token — that’s a piece of Web3’s backbone.
