WalletConnect: Connecting Web3 Seamlessly
Founded in 2018 by Pedro Gomes, WalletConnect simplifies wallet-to-app connections, now serving over 47 million users across 700 wallets and 70,000 apps.
Security is core: data is encrypted, nodes cannot read messages, and users control permissions. In 2023, a community-run Service Node network launched, boosting connections 340% and active wallets 137% by 2024.
The $WCT token enables staking, rewards, and governance, with 121 million WCT staked by mid-2025. WalletConnect has expanded across chains—Ethereum, Solana, and more—and provides developers with tools like AppKit, WalletKit, and Web3Inbox.
WalletConnect is now more than a tool: it’s a community-owned Web3 infrastructure, powering secure, accessible interactions while letting users shape its future.
