When many people still view WalletConnect as a 'wallet scanning tool', its community round financing and token issuance have revealed a deeper strategy: WalletConnect aims to transform itself into a community-driven network economy.
In the community round, the distribution of WCT takes an open and transparent approach, allowing early users, developers, and ecosystem partners to acquire tokens at a reasonable price. This design is not just about financing, but about binding interests—making those who were the earliest users and supporters of WalletConnect stakeholders in the future governance of the network.
In terms of economic model, WCT has several highlights:
• Staking incentives: Node participation requires staking WCT, forming a security moat.
• Fee circulation: The fees paid by users for services will flow back to stakers and developers through token circulation.
• Deflationary design: A portion of the fees will be used for burning, ensuring long-term scarcity.
This economic cycle makes WCT not just a market trading asset, but the 'fuel' for the normal operation of the protocol. It is similar to Bitcoin and Ethereum, inherently binding network security and ecological development.
The significance of the community round is that it turns 'users' into 'builders', allowing WalletConnect to truly embark on the path of decentralization. For long-term investors focused on Web3 infrastructure, the value of WCT goes far beyond the token itself; it is part of the future wallet interconnection standard.
