Without @WalletConnect , your wallet might just be a 'standalone software'
If Web3 is a city, your wallet is your 'identity card', DApp is the store, and @walletconnect is the 'road network' in the city — without it, your 'identity card' cannot reach most 'stores'. Now, $WCT aims to make this 'road network' a shared asset for everyone, where those who maintain it benefit.
How difficult was early Web3? Connecting MetaMask to Uniswap required scanning a QR code, switching to a Solana wallet to connect to the NFT market meant re-entering the private key, and developers had to write 5 separate connection modules to support 5 wallets. It was #WalletConnect that broke down this wall with an open protocol: a unified communication standard, supporting cross-chain connections, and end-to-end encryption for security. After integrating with over 700 wallets and 65,000+ DApps, users can finally 'browse Web3 with one wallet', and developers can save 90% of adaptation time for innovation.
WCT is the key to making the 'road network' more robust. Staking WCT can turn into a node, helping the protocol verify connection requests and earn network fees; holding WCT allows for voting on rule changes, such as whether to add a dedicated connection channel for hardware wallets; @WalletConnect also plans to use $WCT to subsidize small developers, so more teams can afford this protocol. It turns out that those who 'build the road' can really share in the 'toll fees'.
Now when you look at the 'connect wallet' button, you understand how important it is. This is the smoothness that @WalletConnect has laid out with 6 years of infrastructure, and it’s also the beginning of $WCT sharing profits with co-builders. The prosperity of Web3 actually begins with this 'light touch' connection.
