From 0 to 300 Million Connections: $WCT Witnesses the Ecological Explosiveness of WalletConnect

Every great Web3 protocol has a story of rising from obscurity to transforming the industry. @WalletConnect has taken five years to grow from a simple connection tool to the infrastructure supporting 300 million secure interactions, and the launch of WCT is the “value realization” chapter of this story—it not only witnesses the ecological explosiveness but also propels this ecology toward a broader future.

The growth trajectory of #WalletConnect is a microcosm of Web3 development. When it was launched in 2018, it was merely to address the small problem of “difficulty in connecting wallets with DApps”; now it has become a super hub connecting over 600 wallets and 65,000+ DApps. This explosion is not accidental: on one hand, @WalletConnect insists on open source and decentralization, attracting a large number of developers to participate; on the other hand, it continuously iterates technology, evolving from the single connection of 1.0 to multi-chain support and push notifications of 2.0, always staying ahead of user demands. The ecological explosiveness of #WalletConnect is essentially the inevitable result of “solving real problems.”

The emergence of WCT has provided continuous fuel for this explosiveness. In the past, the expansion of the ecology relied on the enthusiasm of teams and volunteers; now, WCT has established a mechanism of “contribution equals reward”: developers can earn $WCT rewards for developing plugins for #WalletConnect ; node operators can earn income by maintaining the network through staking WCT; users participating in governance can influence the direction of the protocol and share ecological dividends. This mechanism incentivizes every participant in the ecology to promote the growth of @WalletConnect , creating an effect of “many hands make light work.”

What’s even more exciting is that $WCT is opening new frontiers for the ecology. With the upgrade of staking and optimization of governance, #WalletConnect plans to expand into more areas: for example, integrating with traditional financial systems to make the conversion between fiat and crypto assets more convenient; for example, supporting on-chain interactions of IoT devices to allow Web3 to penetrate into real life. The realization of these new scenarios will require the voting support of WCT holders, which will in turn enhance the application value of WCT. As the bull market drives Web3 to penetrate a broader audience, the value of @WalletConnect as an entry point will explode, and WCT will rise accordingly.
