Web3 is entering a critical stage of evolution with the rise of the multi-chain environment, where networks like Ethereum, Solana, and Avalanche are at the forefront, while cross-chain bridging protocols, such as @WalletConnect, are unifying these separate digital islands. With the launch of the $WCT token, WalletConnect has become more than just a technical bridge; it has become a strategic investment asset demonstrating that infrastructure tokens in the era of multiple chains are poised to outperform the value of individual tokens for each chain.
The main strengths of #WalletConnect lie in its extensive capabilities to connect chains, as it supports more than 60 major blockchain networks, granting users the freedom to transfer their assets smoothly and without compatibility barriers. Imagine interacting with decentralized Ethereum applications using a Solana wallet, or participating in Avalanche activities with your assets on Polygon — all in one step via WalletConnect. This unique experience makes it akin to a "logistics hub" for the multi-chain Web3 world, and comes $WCT as a "gateway token" that opens its doors.
The market value of WCT is closely tied to the resurgence of the multi-chain ecosystem. As new chains and innovative decentralized applications emerge, the demand for WalletConnect services increases, enhancing the role of WCT as a governance token and storage tool. For example, if a new chain wishes to join the WalletConnect network, it requires approval from WCT holders. When there is a need to expand the network's capabilities to keep up with increased demand, the node operators who stake WCT receive higher rewards, creating a natural growth cycle: "As the ecosystem grows, the value of the token increases."
However, the true significance of WCT goes beyond the investment aspect, as it contributes to building a "unified gateway" to the Web3 world. Thanks to WalletConnect, developers no longer need to design custom connectors for every wallet or public chain; one connection is enough to reach most users. This simplification not only reduces the complexity of entering Web3 but also provides users with a seamless experience through a single wallet to access the entire ecosystem. Here, WCT serves as the "proof of stake" for the grand gateway that leads to the Web3 world.
In the end, in the era of multiple chains, those who hold the keys to connectivity… hold the reins of the entire ecosystem.
