$WCT Ecological Expansion: Cross-Chain Ambitions from Optimism to Solana

The future of Web3 is multi-chain, and @WalletConnect is practicing this concept with WCT. Following its launch on Optimism, in May 2025, WCT expanded to Solana through the Wormhole cross-chain protocol, airdropping tokens to 5 million active users. Leading DApps like Drift and Marinade quickly supported it, showcasing strong cross-chain expansion capabilities, allowing #WalletConnect to upgrade from a single-chain protocol to the core of a multi-chain ecosystem.

#WalletConnect itself possesses a multi-chain gene, supporting multiple public chains like Ethereum and Solana, with compatibility for over 600 wallets and 65,000+DApps, making it a natural hub for cross-chain interactions. The multi-chain deployment of $WCT provides governance support for this hub status—holders on different chains can participate in protocol decision-making together, promoting @walletconnect to optimize the cross-chain experience.

The landing of WCT on Solana is not a coincidence, but a key step in ecological expansion. By activating user participation through airdrops and rapidly replicating staking and governance mechanisms, Solana ecosystem users can influence the development of the protocol on that chain through WCT. Currently, cross-chain staking and voting functions are gradually being improved, and $WCT is becoming a value link connecting multi-chain ecosystems.

In an era where multi-chain competition and collaboration coexist, the cross-chain layout gives #WalletConnect the potential to lead the industry. It not only connects wallets and DApps but also connects communities across different chains, jointly writing the multi-chain future of Web3.
