Decrypting the 'Connect Button': @WalletConnect and $WCT 's Infrastructure Revolution

The 'Connect Wallet' button that you click every day is backed by the invisible giant @WalletConnect . Since 2018, it has enabled seamless communication for over 700 wallets and 65,000+ DApps with open protocols, achieving 300 million connections without any security incidents, functioning like the 'air' of the Web3 world – often unnoticeable, yet indispensable. Now, $WCT aims to transform this 'air' into a participatory and profitable community asset.

Its magic lies in 'standardization'. Different blockchains are like different languages of countries, and #WalletConnect serves as the universal translator, using a unified protocol to eliminate interoperability barriers. End-to-end encryption ensures that communication remains private throughout, while cross-chain support allows users to switch between chains like Ethereum and Solana smoothly. This underlying technology saves developers 90% of their adaptation efforts and frees users from the hassle of having to reconnect every time they switch DApps.

$WCT is a crucial step towards protocol decentralization. Stakers can earn 17.5% of the reward pool and have a say in the direction of protocol development – from adding new chain support to upgrading security mechanisms, every decision is made collectively by the community. Over 106 million WCT have been locked, with over 140,000 active users participating in governance, marking a transition of infrastructure from 'being controlled' to 'being shared', akin to the internet's evolution from private networks to public resources.

@WalletConnect never pursues 'exclusivity', but embraces 'win-win' scenarios. When all ecosystem participants can access this standard at low cost, the scaling effect of Web3 can truly explode. #WalletConnect is proving through action: the best competition is to eliminate competition, and the best infrastructure is one that allows everyone to stand on its shoulders. Now, WCT invites you to become a stakeholder in this revolution, allowing each connection to create value for yourself. #WalletConnect
