《@WalletConnect : The 'Universal Interface' on the Chain for 47.5 Million Users》

The blockchain world used to be like scattered islands: using Wallet A couldn't access DApp B, and switching chains required reconnecting the wallet, until @WalletConnect built a bridge. This open-source protocol born in 2018 has now become the 'universal interface' for chain connections — over 600 wallets can connect to 65,000 DApps through it, and 47.5 million users have completed 300 million connections using it. Transactions and signatures on chains like Optimism and Solana can be completed with a scan or a click of a link, and end-to-end encryption keeps security tightly secured.

The $WCT token is the 'nerve center' of this connection network. Out of a total supply of 1 billion, 186 million are in circulation, with over 59,000 stakers locking up 123 million WCT, earning up to 23% APY; want to suggest an upgrade to the protocol? Staking WCT allows you to vote on Snapshot. In November 2024, Season 1 airdropped 185 million $WCT , causing the community to explode with excitement — after all, who doesn't love protecting the network while earning rewards?

#WalletConnect has long understood the pain points of developers and users. Wallets like Solflare and Rakuten gained certification through the Certified program, making it clear to users that 'this wallet is reliable'; developers can integrate using the Reown WalletKit SDK without the headache of adapting to multiple chains. Gemini wallet tried it, and with a single integration, it connected to the entire network, saving a lot of effort.

@WalletConnect is still moving forward: aiming to expand into SocialFi and refine cross-chain functionality, with a goal of serving 100 million users. Currently, 72% of online payments use stablecoins, and its presence can be seen everywhere in the DeFi and NFT sectors — this is not just an interface; it is clearly the leader of the Web3 ecosystem.
