《From 300 Million Connections to Self-Circulation: Why Does @WalletConnect Become the "Invisible Infrastructure" of Web3?》
Few protocols can quietly become the "water and electricity network" of Web3 like @WalletConnect – since its launch in 2018, it has connected over 51.4 million wallets and 71,500 DApps, with 337 million connections hiding the daily operations of half of the on-chain users. But its power lies not just in its "abundance", but in the critical turn of 2025: transforming "free tools" into a "self-circulating network" through $WCT , which directly gives the Web3 connection layer sustainable confidence.
Now WCT is no longer just a simple token. Holders can use it to vote on protocol rules, from supporting new chains to setting standards for node residency, with the community having the final say; by staking it, they can also act as "security personnel" for the network, providing guarantees for relay nodes, earning rewards while ensuring stability. Even more interesting is the economic closed loop – in the future, when advanced APIs and enterprise services charge fees, WCT will participate in the settlement, and the more usage increases, the more vibrant the value circulation.
From the community discussions at Coinfest Asia to the excitement of the 5 million token airdrop on Solana, @WalletConnect has already embedded "connection" into the very essence of its ecosystem. Behind the label #WalletConnect is its transformation from "invisible tool" to "governable infrastructure" – after all, a protocol that allows users to feel secure while sharing the pie is a true necessity.
