From protocol to network, $WCT witnesses the evolutionary path of #WalletConnect
In 2018, WalletConnect was born as a protocol aimed at "solving the connection challenges between wallets and DApps"; today, it has grown into the core network supporting Web3 interactions, and $WCT is the "accelerator" of this evolution. Every step of @WalletConnect ’s transition from a single function to an ecosystem is inseparable from the empowerment of WCT.
The early #WalletConnect was merely a "connection tool" in the hands of developers; the emergence of WCT gave it the soul of "community governance". By holding WCT, users can vote on proposals for protocol upgrades, new chain integrations, and more, allowing the network's development to align with the real needs of millions of users. This decentralized governance model has shifted WalletConnect from "developer-driven" to "community co-construction", dramatically increasing its cohesion.
As the ecosystem expands, the role of WCT continues to extend. Staking WCT can earn ecological rights, attracting more people to participate in network maintenance; cross-chain deployment (with Optimism and Solana leading the way) allows WCT to break the limitations of single-chain compatibility and adapt to the collaborative needs of multi-chain ecosystems; airdrops to early users and partners quickly activated the enthusiasm of over 600 wallets and 65,000+ DApps. Today, the data of over 300 million connections is a direct reflection of the ecological value of WCT.
The ultimate goal of @WalletConnect is to become the "default connection layer" of Web3. This means a fully decentralized relay network, richer $WCT application scenarios, and seamless compatibility with all blockchains. When connections become so natural, the large-scale popularization of Web3 will no longer be distant.
Behind the growth of #WalletConnect from 0 to 300 million connections is the ecological power of WCT, making over 600 wallets no longer isolated, opening doors for #WalletConnect to over 65,000 applications, using technology to flatten the usage thresholds of Web3, and #WalletConnect and WCT jointly heading towards a decentralized future.
