From Tools to Infrastructure: How $WCT Rewrites the Connection Rules of Web3

Few people notice that every time Web3's 'wallet connects to dApp', the shadow of @WalletConnect is hidden. This network connecting 600+ wallets and 67,000+dApps, serving 47.5 million users through 300 million connections, has long been the 'invisible infrastructure' of on-chain UX, and $WCT is the 'core gear' that keeps this infrastructure running. It doesn’t stand in the spotlight like L2 or DEX, but runs through every interaction like water and electricity pipelines—when you connect Phantom to Jup Finance, it is transferring data; when you connect imToken to Uniswap, it is validating signatures. This 'omnipresence without stealing the spotlight' is the hardcore value of middleware protocols.

The use of WCT has long jumped out of the 'speculating on coins' framework. With a total supply of 1 billion and a circulation of 186 million, it tightly binds the community through its staking mechanism: over 59,000 users have staked 123 million WCT, allowing them to participate in protocol upgrade voting and receive up to 23% APY rewards, turning 'governance rights' into tangible rights accessible to everyone. After the airdrop of 185 million $WCT in November 2024, community activity will rise to a new level, and more and more people realize: this is not just a token; it is a 'ticket to participate in the Web3 connection ecosystem'.

Now, @WalletConnect has become a multi-chain expert, with $187 million in transaction volume on chains like Optimism and Solana, proving its ability to withstand the interaction pressure of different chains. WalletGuide helps users avoid 'fake wallets', the Certified program gives 'official certification stamps' to wallets like Solflare, and the Reown WalletKit SDK doubles the integration efficiency for developers. These actions are all solidifying the ecological foundation of #WalletConnect . The future focus on SocialFi and cross-chain efforts, aimed at reaching 100 million users, gives WCT the confidence to transform from a 'tool token' to an 'ecosystem currency'—as Web3 enters an era where 'connection is king', it is destined to be a key player. #WalletConnect is redefining the rules of on-chain interaction using WCT.
