《From Protocol to Ecosystem: The Decentralized Ambition of @WalletConnect and $WCT 》

Few projects can transform from a 'tool' into an 'ecosystem' like @WalletConnect . Initially, it was just a connection protocol for wallets and DApps, but it has now become the 'infrastructure benchmark' for Web3 user experience: with over 700 wallets and more than 70,000 applications integrated, and the daily growing number of remote connections, it speaks to a fact — it is no longer an 'option,' but a 'necessity.'

The next stop for #WalletConnect is even bolder: complete decentralization. By building a permissioned database through third-party node operators, it makes the network more resistant to censorship and more resilient, with WCT being the 'core gear' of this strategy. Nodes must stake WCT to operate; poor performance will result in penalties, while good performance can earn rewards; holders can vote on rule changes, from cryptographic mechanisms to incentive distribution, truly realizing that 'the community has the final say.'

This design makes the value loop increasingly stable. Users enjoy a low-latency, high-throughput experience when connecting, developers don't have to worry about cross-chain compatibility, and nodes earn $WCT by maintaining the network — with all parties' interests tied together, there is a continuous drive to move forward. Although the price has fluctuated, considering it once reached $1.35 and looking at the current foundational market, it’s not hard to see its underestimated potential.

#WalletConnect has proven the 'power of infrastructure.' It doesn't rely on gimmicks but makes the on-chain lives of 50 million users smoother; $WCT is not a meme coin, but a 'value anchor' for the ecosystem. In the future, as Web3 becomes more popular, people may forget 'who to rely on for connection,' but #WalletConnect has already etched its mark in every part of the ecosystem — this depth is the best proof of long-term value.
