Imagine a medium that connects wallets with dApps, requiring neither repeated wallet switches nor complex command inputs. Just scan or click to freely explore the Web3 world across multiple main chains—this is the charm of WalletConnect.
Seamless multi-chain connectivity with one click
The core of WalletConnect is a cross-chain, cross-wallet connection protocol, currently covering Ethereum, Optimism, and Solana, and utilizing Wormhole technology for native token circulation without the need for wrapping operations. Users can securely connect to dApps via QR codes or deep links, ensuring that private keys are never exposed. The protocol's encrypted messages are transmitted through relay services and distributed nodes, allowing notifications to be received even when wallets are offline.
WCT: The driving engine behind the connection experience
Having a connection protocol is not enough; WCT (WalletConnect Token) injects more 'practicality' into this infrastructure:
Incentivizing network security and stability: By staking WCT, node operators can earn rewards while participating in network maintenance.
Community governance: WCT holders can participate in key decisions such as network policies and fee mechanisms.
Comprehensive reward mechanism: WCT is used to pay network fees, reward participants, and also supports developer incentives and user airdrops.
Multi-chain deployment + active ecosystem = a new type of infrastructure built by the community
As of May this year, WalletConnect has achieved over 309 million connections, with more than 47.5 million active wallets and 66,500 integrated dApps.
To celebrate its launch on Solana, the official team initiated a 5 million WCT airdrop for the Solana community to encourage Solana users to participate in network building.
Next step: Smart sessions are coming, making dApps understand you better
WalletConnect is moving towards making connections smarter, with the 'Smart Sessions' feature currently in development. It allows users to authorize dApps or AI agents to automatically perform actions within a certain scope of permissions, eliminating repetitive pop-up confirmations and creating a smoother, more considerate experience.
