@WalletConnect is an open-source, chain agnostic protocol that securely links crypto wallets to decentralized apps (dApps) across networks like Ethereum, Solana, BNB Chain, Polkadot, Cosmos, and even Bitcoin. It enables interactions via encrypted QR codes or deep links, preserving privacy and avoiding browser extension vulnerabilities.
🚀 Key Ecosystem Stats
Trusted by 600+ wallet providers and integrated with 65,000+ dApps
Over 47 million unique wallets and hundreds of millions of secure connections to date
🪙 WCT Token: More Than Just Governance
The WCT token is WalletConnect’s native utility token capped at 1 billion that powers staking, governance, future fees, and incentive programs:
Staking: Users lock WCT to support node operations, earn rewards, and gain governance power. Staking positions can last from one week to two years, with rewards scaling accordingly.
Governance: Token holders vote on network upgrades, token economics, fees, and ecosystem direction.
Node & Wallet Rewards: Service nodes and integrated wallets earn WCT based on uptime, performance, and integrations aligning their participation with network quality.
Architecture & Security Features
WalletConnect functions as a decentralized messaging network via:
Service Nodes: Store encrypted session messages using a “mailbox” design, supporting offline wallet access and secure relay.
Gateway Nodes: Coordinate routing between wallets and apps, ensuring timely and encrypted message delivery.
End to End Encryption: Messages exchanged during sessions are fully encrypted, even the WalletConnect Relay cannot access them.
Why WalletConnect & WCT Matter
Acts as Web3’s default wallet dApp bridge, trusted by developers, wallets, and users alike.
With WCT, a governance and incentive layer has been built empowering users and operators alike to contribute to and benefit from network growth.
WCT became fully transferable in April 2025, after key adoption milestones were met (staking thresholds, node onboarding, open-source release).
