WCT: The Value Anchor of the Web3 Connection Layer

In Web3 infrastructure, connection is the first mile and the last mile. @WalletConnect has taken eight years to build the most robust connection bridge—supporting cross-chain, end-to-end encryption, and no need to share private keys. Now, it is equipping this bridge with a "value engine" using $WCT .

WCT is not a speculative token, but the governance and incentive core of the #WalletConnect network. By staking WCT, users can run relay nodes to ensure the stability of global connections; through governance voting, the community can decide on protocol upgrades, fee models, and multi-chain expansion strategies. This marks the transition of @WalletConnect from a "public welfare project" to a "self-organizing ecosystem."

Its technical advantages have long been validated: the v2 protocol supports multi-chain sessions, allowing a single connection to switch freely between Ethereum, Solana, Optimism, and other chains; Web3Modal and AppKit greatly reduce developer integration costs; push and chat features enable dApps to proactively notify users, enhancing the user experience.

In May 2025, WCT will land on Solana and airdrop 5 million tokens, co-building a multi-chain ecosystem with wallets like Phantom. This is not only a technical expansion but also a consolidation of community consensus.

More profoundly, it is a transformation of the economic model. In the future, when advanced APIs or enterprise services introduce a charging mechanism, $WCT will serve as the settlement unit, and profits will flow back to stakers and governance participants. Use equals contribution, contribution equals profit—this is the true spirit of Web3.
