How WalletConnect & $WCT Are Redefining Web3 Interaction
WalletConnect has become the backbone of Web3’s user experience connecting more than 600 wallets with 67,000+ dApps. By July 2025 its official X account reported over 337 million connections and 50 million unique wallets clear proof of its role as the connective tissue of the financial internet.
Its decentralized relay system paired with TLS encryption delivers secure and seamless interactions. The WalletGuide program helps raise wallet standards through certifications (with names like BitPay and Rakuten already on board), making it easier for newcomers to step into Web3. Meanwhile the open source protocol allows developers to focus on building great dApps without the headache of wallet integration.
The $WCT token powers governance and rewards. Holders stake to vote on protocol proposals through Snapshot with more than 59,000 stakers locking up 123 million tokens some earning APYs up to 23%. In November 2024 @WalletConnect launched its first ever airdrop season to reward node operators and developers.
With a flexible staking system and new Layer3 initiatives, community participation is on the rise. And as WalletConnect moves into SocialFi via the Reown SDK user engagement is set to reach new heights. In my view and are becoming essential pillars for smooth secure and connected Web3 experiences.
