No speculation, just action: $WCT 's rise as a dark horse in Web3 infrastructure
In Web3, some chase trends while others build infrastructure. @WalletConnect is clearly the latter — connecting over 600 wallets, 67,000+ dApps, and serving 475 million users with 300 million connections. This success is not based on hype but on solid connectivity capabilities, and $WCT is the 'engine' that keeps this capability running. It is a typical middleware protocol token that does not engage in the noise of C-end entry but focuses on the 'essential need' for on-chain interactions: when you use any wallet to connect to a dApp, it's likely that 80-90% of the time, it is transmitting data via WCT. This presence, which is 'inseparable from every step,' is more effective than any speculation.
The brilliance of WCT lies in transforming 'tokens' into 'ecological keys.' With a total supply of 1 billion and a circulating supply of 186 million, it turns over 59,000+ users into 'ecological administrators' through a staking mechanism—after staking 123 million WCT, they can vote on whether the protocol should support new public chains and receive rewards, with a maximum APY of 23% providing motivation to 'get the work done.' When 1.85 billion WCT is airdropped in November 2024 during Season 1, many will realize for the first time, 'I can also influence the direction of the protocol.' This 'decentralized governance' is not just a slogan; it is a practical implementation of WCT.
The current @WalletConnect has long become a multi-chain 'generalist,' with $187 million in transaction volume on chains like Optimism and Solana, proving its ability to adapt to different chain rules; WalletGuide helps beginners distinguish between 'legitimate wallets' and 'phishing software', while the Certified program gives wallets like Solflare an 'official certification.' The Reown WalletKit SDK allows developers to integrate without repeatedly writing code, all of which contributes to building a good reputation for #WalletConnect . In the future, aiming for SocialFi, expanding cross-chain functionality, and serving 100 million users, the role of $WCT will only become more crucial — after all, as the ecosystem grows larger, it increasingly relies on its coordination for governance and incentives for contributions.
Compared to those speculative tokens, WCT resembles the type that 'quietly accomplishes great things.' It does not engage in flashy promotions but builds trust with each stable connection. Looking back, this approach seems correct — as Web3 increasingly needs 'reliable connectors,' #WalletConnect and WCT naturally become everyone's assurance. @WalletConnect demonstrates through action: infrastructure tokens do not need to chase trends; achieving excellence in 'connection' is enough.
