Simple start

If you have ever tried to connect a crypto wallet to a decentralized application (dApp), you will surely understand the hassle: not knowing how to connect, worrying about security, or sometimes giving up because it is too complicated. That is the problem WalletConnect was created to solve.

Almost anyone opening a dApp today will see the 'Connect Wallet' button, scan a QR code, and immediately the wallet and application can communicate securely. No need to share private keys, no cumbersome installations.

WalletConnect has truly become the common 'connection node' of the entire Web3.

Initial idea

WalletConnect was built with a very simple promise: to allow wallets and applications to communicate with each other without exposing private keys.

Operating principles:

  • Private keys are always kept in your wallet.

  • Communication between wallet and dApp is end-to-end encrypted.

  • Supports multi-chain (Ethereum, Solana, etc.), independent of individual ecosystems.

Thanks to the 'open to all' approach, WalletConnect has rapidly exploded, becoming the default infrastructure of Web3.

Why do users like WalletConnect?

The greatest strength is the user experience (UX).

  • New users: just scan the QR code or click the link, no need to install plugins or set up APIs.

  • dApps: adding WalletConnect allows immediate connection with hundreds of wallet types, no need to write separate code for each wallet.

For example, if a project wants to expand its user base, integrating WalletConnect is like going straight onto an existing 'highway', rather than building a separate road.

The telling numbers

WalletConnect has now:

  • Supports tens of thousands of applications.

  • Used by over 50 million wallets.

  • Facilitates hundreds of millions of secure connections.

This is no longer a 'potential technology', but has become the backbone of the Web3 experience.

WCT Token – From utility to network

WalletConnect does not stop at being a free tool; they are developing into a decentralized network with their own token: WCT.

Function of WCT:

  • Staking: Nodes or infrastructure partners need to stake WCT to prove their credibility.

  • Rewards: Well-performing nodes or wallets/dApps that provide users will be rewarded.

  • Governance: Holders of WCT have the right to vote, deciding the direction of the protocol.

  • Service fees (future): Some advanced services may charge fees, but end users will not be charged for basic connectivity.

This helps the WalletConnect ecosystem grow sustainably while maintaining decentralization.

The move to Solana

In 2025, WalletConnect expanded significantly by bringing WCT to Solana, even releasing it in the form of an airdrop claim for the community.

This move shows they are not limited to one blockchain, but genuinely pursuing the vision of a 'common bridge for the entire Web3'.

Real experience

The process of using WalletConnect is very simple:

  1. Open dApp (e.g., Uniswap, Magic Eden).

  2. Press Connect Wallet.

  3. Scan QR with wallet (MetaMask, Phantom, etc.).

  4. Accept transaction/login.

Each request (signing transaction, approving swap, signing login message) is clearly displayed. Users have complete control to accept or reject.

When finished, just click Disconnect – no binding, no 'backdoor' left.

Why feel safe?

  • End-to-end encrypted communication, even the relay server does not know the content.

  • Users never share their private keys.

  • The network is decentralized thanks to staking and many independent nodes.

Of course, WalletConnect cannot protect you from fraudulent dApps, but the protocol is secure.

Long-term vision

WalletConnect is evolving from a tool into a decentralized network.

  • Many nodes operate → not dependent on a single company.

  • Staking mechanism → keeps nodes honest.

  • Token governance → community decides together.

This is extremely important because the 'wallet connect node' of the entire Web3 cannot be held by a single company.

Conclusion

WalletConnect is a special project in the crypto world:

  • Utility comes first, tokens come later.

  • Not chasing hype, but building real infrastructure.

  • Becoming the backbone of the Web3 experience.

Every time you connect your wallet to a dApp and find it easy, secure – it is thanks to WalletConnect. With the launch of $WCT , they are ensuring this ecosystem is sustainable, decentralized, and fair.
