As a newcomer to Web3, I had a hard time with 'Wallet Connect': in the morning, I connected my wallet on Ethereum's Uniswap to make a trade, at noon I switched to a Solana platform to buy NFTs, and had to scan and authorize again when I opened the page; in the evening, I wanted to transfer assets to another chain and had to switch networks back and forth, constantly worried about entering the wrong address—many people used to give up on Web3 because of this hassle. But now, @WalletConnect has completed the upgrade and resolved all these issues.
The most tangible benefit is 'connect once, use multiple chains': whether it's Ethereum, Solana, or other commonly used chains, you only need to scan its code once with your wallet, and you can switch DApps and chains without reconnecting. Now it has over 50 million users, and 80% of users say 'I kept using it because it saved me time from repeated scans,' whether for individuals using DApps or small teams managing assets, it has saved a lot of hassle.
And after $WCT went live, it even equipped this 'connector' with an 'engine'. Now $WCT
The usage is very specific:
- Developers with WCT can unlock advanced features to make DApps more user-friendly;
- Enterprises staking WCT can enjoy 24-hour technical support, even during peak times they won’t lag;
- Ordinary users staking WCT can vote to decide whether to add new chains or optimize functions in the ecosystem.
In 2025, it issued 5 million WCT on Solana, and within 48 hours, over 200,000 people claimed it, even major wallets like Phantom added a 'one-click connect' entry. People trust it also because of its security: private keys are always in their own wallets, and DApp permissions are self-determined, with over 300 million connections never having issues of leakage or asset loss.
The current @WalletConnect is no longer a niche tool: offline exhibitions demonstrate 'connecting 3 chains in one minute', and many developers come to ask how to use it; over 70,000 DApps online use it, and even major wallets like MetaMask cooperate, with 90% of wallet users able to connect directly.
Looking at it now, it resembles the 'connectivity infrastructure' of Web3, and $WCT is the core that makes this infrastructure run and grow. From solving novice troubles to becoming the 'hub of all chains', it has made more and more people feel: 'Connecting wallets in Web3 should have always been this simple.'
