๐ถ It Started With One Question
Back in 2018, a developer named Pedro Gomes got frustrated.
He asked himself: Why is it so hard to connect my wallet to an app?
So, he built WalletConnect.
A simple tool that made things easier.
Today, that small idea is used by millions of people around the world.
๐ Look at the Growth
Now, WalletConnect is everywhere:
Over 47 million people use it
More than 300 million connections made
Works with 700 wallets and 70,000 apps
Every time you tap Connect Wallet, there's a good chance WalletConnect is what makes it happen.
๐ Safety Comes First
WalletConnect isnโt just about connecting.
Itโs about trust.
Your data is encrypted
Nodes carry the messages but canโt read them
You only give apps the access you choose
Itโs like handing someone a room key, not the whole house.
๐ฑ A Network That Grew With Us
In 2023, WalletConnect leveled up.
The old bridges were shut down.
A new WalletConnect Network launched โ powered by Service Nodes, designed to be run by the community.
By 2024, the numbers soared:
340% more connections.
137% more wallets active.
The network wasnโt just growing โ it was alive.
๐ WCT: The Heartbeat
Then came WCT, the WalletConnect Token.
It gave people a way to:
Stake
Earn rewards
Vote on the future
By mid-2025, over 121 million WCT were staked by 49,000 people worldwide.
Some were earning up to 22% in rewards.
It wasnโt just tech anymore โ it was community-owned.
๐ Growing Across Chains
WalletConnect started with Optimism.
Then came Ethereum.
In May 2025, it arrived on Solana, with a 5 million WCT airdrop for Solana users.
Next up: Sui and Rootstock.
WalletConnect is becoming truly chain-agnostic.
๐ ๏ธ Built for Builders Too
For developers, WalletConnect delivered the tools they needed:
AppKit โ for easy dApp connections
WalletKit โ for wallet integration
Web3Inbox โ for private, wallet-to-user notifications
And soon:
One-Click Auth and Smart Sessions, so users donโt have to sign the same thing again and again.
๐ A Token That Moves
The market took notice.
Between April and May 2025, WCT jumped 276%.
It hit an all-time high of $1.37.
Now itโs hovering around $1 โ with room to grow as adoption spreads.
๐ณ๏ธ A Voice for the Community
In April 2025, WCT became transferable
By June, multi-chain governance went live
Now, anyone staking can help decide where WalletConnect goes next.
This isnโt just software anymore.
Itโs a community project.
โจ The Bigger Picture
WalletConnect started as a small fix.
Today, it powers how Web3 connects โ quietly working behind the scenes to let wallets and apps talk safely.
Now, with WCT, the people own the network.
Itโs not just Pedroโs idea anymore.
Itโs our story.
