Why is WCT more than just an airdrop token?
In the Web3 world, airdrops have become commonplace. But the distribution logic of WalletConnect Token (WCT) clearly goes beyond simply 'delivering benefits'; it represents a transfer of value and responsibility.
Firstly, WalletConnect itself is a wallet connection standard used daily by millions of users. Unlike some projects that 'mint first', it first accumulated genuine usage demand before introducing tokenization. This gives WCT a natural application scenario, rather than being just a castle in the air.
WCT's positioning includes three layers:
1. Governance Certificate — Token holders can participate in DAO voting to decide the future development of the protocol, such as cross-chain expansion, fee models, or cooperation directions.
2. Network Incentives — Nodes need to stake WCT to operate, and fees generated from users using the service will also be distributed through the token economy.
3. Ecological Link — As WalletConnect integrates with more chains and applications in the future, WCT will serve as a cross-ecosystem incentive medium.
Secondly, its airdrop design emphasizes 'real contributions'. Early activity, wallet interaction history, and development support will all impact the distribution amount. This approach avoids short-term cashing out by 'wool-harvesting' parties while strengthening community stickiness.
More importantly, the economic model of WCT does not aim for short-term speculation but emphasizes long-term governance and the accumulation of network effects. Its value is not just the market price but serves as a 'pass' that determines whether you will have a voice in the future WalletConnect ecosystem.
Therefore, don't view WCT merely as an airdrop token. It is more like a 'membership card' in the Web3 world, representing your eligibility to participate in the next-generation infrastructure network.
