In the Web3 world, WalletConnect stands as the essential bridge linking wallets and decentralized applications. The WCT token lets users not only connect effortlessly but also earn returns through staking. So, how does WalletConnect’s staking platform allow you to support the network while generating passive income? It all comes down to its decentralized architecture and the powerful utility of $WCT.
@WalletConnect connects over 600 wallets and 67,000+ projects, facilitating more than 300 million on-chain interactions, making $WCT the ecosystem’s core driver. Through staking, $WCT holders help secure the network by locking tokens and earning weekly rewards plus governance rights. As of March 2025, over 59,000 stakers have locked 123 million $WCT, with APYs reaching up to 23%. Rewards are distributed every Thursday and depend on staking weight calculated by amount staked and lock duration (up to 105 weeks) meaning longer locks yield higher rewards.
Staking is straightforward: connect your wallet, select your $WCT amount and lock-up period (2 weeks to 2 years), and confirm. WalletConnect also empowers stakers to participate in governance via Snapshot voting and community discussions, including key proposals like the March 2025 $WCT transfer.
The platform runs on the Optimism mainnet, offering ultra-low fees ($0.001), while decentralized relay servers ensure censorship resistance. Supporting over 150 chains like Ethereum and Solana, WalletConnect’s $WCT token not only rewards you but also invites you to shape the future of decentralized connections driving the next wave of Web3 innovation.
