Ordinary people can also influence the direction of Web3.
In the past, we always thought that terms like blockchain, DAO, and governance belonged only to a few 'tech-savvy' individuals. But @WalletConnect WalletConnect is quietly changing all of this.
The $WCT they launched is not another high-threshold governance token, but a 'ticket to Web3' prepared for ordinary people.
This protocol connects 47.5 million users and serves as the 'invisible infrastructure' behind almost all wallets. Now, it hands over the power to the users: if you stake WCT, you have the right to vote, to participate in deciding how the protocol upgrades, how fees are charged, and whether features go live.
What impresses me the most is its rule design:
• Small funds can participate: There’s no staking threshold that requires tens of thousands of U.
• The earlier and longer you hold, the more powerful: Weight is determined not only by quantity but also by holding time.
• Prevents whale dictatorship: Each address can control a maximum of 5% of the weight.
This is a typical example of 'decentralized but not unbalanced' — returning the leadership of Web3 to long-term builders, rather than short-term speculators.
Currently, there are over 280,000 addresses holding WCT, and they are collectively deciding the product direction of #WalletConnect , such as:
✅ How to charge fees
✅ How to implement chat features
✅ Which protocols can be integrated
… Every decision is directly related to your future experience using wallets.
The next step for Web3 will not be unilaterally decided by VCs and developers. A true ecosystem must come from community co-construction.
WCT is not just a token; it's a key — allowing you and me to become not only users of Web3 but also participants, builders, and even shapers of direction.
