@WalletConnect started as a reliable "intermediary" that bridged wallets and dApps, allowing for simple transactions to complex staking without requiring you to hand over your private keys. In the blink of an eye, it has now upgraded into a super network capable of handling massive traffic.
But what truly caught my eye is their upgrade to the $WCT staking system. This recent vote has just passed, and the new model is super user-friendly: a permanent staking model where users decide when to unlock, along with flexible duration options. Don't underestimate these adjustments; they make staking no longer a "deadlock," but something truly designed for ordinary people. Want to earn rewards but afraid of being stuck? Perfect solution. Currently, over 122.4 million WCT have been staked, with over 48,700 stakers, and the yield rate is as high as 22% APY. This not only preserves value but also allows you to participate in network governance and cast your vote for the future. Oh, by the way, if you have partner wallets in the Solana ecosystem like Phantom or Backpack, hurry up and claim your $WCT rewards, as the window closes on August 14!
The addition of new partners excites me: heavyweight projects like MorphoLabs, Pendle_fi, Ethena_labs, PlaySolana, and Noah_HQ are all joining in. This means more apps, more users, and more liquidity across chains; WalletConnect is that hub that connects everything together. Moreover, they are not only active online but also very engaged offline: this month you can find them in Bali (August 21 CoinFest), Tokyo (August 25 community brunch), or Seoul (August 28 meetup). If you're a developer or enthusiast, don't miss these opportunities to share ideas; who knows, the next big project might take root here.
Ultimately, in the noisy world of crypto, WalletConnect's charm lies in its focus on practicality rather than empty slogans. It connects not just wallets, but also the future. From staking to earn yields, to cross-chain liquidity, to community governance, everything makes users feel like "this is my network." Recently, $WCT has also been listed on Gemini, making it even easier to get started. If you haven't tried it yet, hurry to their staking page, bridge some assets, or sign up for an offline event. The gates of crypto are opening wider and wider; who wouldn't want to be the first to rush in?
