$WCT driven decentralized communication engine: Redefining the Web3 connection paradigm

In the evolution of Web3 infrastructure, WalletConnect @WalletConnect is reshaping cross-chain interaction standards with a modular protocol architecture. By 2025, its network has achieved 180 million secure connections, covering over 30 million users, supporting more than 100 EVM and non-EVM chains, including major ecosystems like Ethereum, Solana, and BNB Chain. At the core of this is an end-to-end encrypted communication mechanism based on a relay network, ensuring that every interaction is private and censorship-resistant.

Connection speeds are below 3 seconds, and gas costs are reduced to $0.001—@WalletConnect pushes user experience to the extreme. Developers can integrate cross-chain functionality for Uniswap V4-like DApps in just 2 hours using AppKit or WalletKit, increasing development efficiency by 30%. It is compatible with the CAIP standard, allowing users to seamlessly transition from completing NFT transactions on Solana to participating in DeFi on Ethereum, truly achieving “one signature, all chains accessible.” The ReCaps permission protocol also supports time-limited authorizations, with a 20% improvement in security performance during testing.

The sustainability of the network is driven by WCT token economics. Initially, relay services are free, aimed at rapidly expanding the ecosystem. In the future, a nominal communication fee will be introduced through community governance, to be borne by DApp parties, making it seamless for users. Fees will be settled in WCT, flowing into a reward pool, distributed based on node performance and wallet signature counts, incentivizing high-quality services. Initial operating costs are supported by a 17.5% token reward pool, with 5% released in the first year, and subsequent dynamic adjustments as the ecosystem matures. Governance can set the staking reward ratio to fluctuate between 0.25 and 0.66, ensuring economic balance. #WalletConnect

Token distribution reflects long-termism: 18.5% for the team, 11.5% for early supporters, totaling 30% with a 1-year cliff and 4-year linear unlocking to prevent sell pressure and lock in core contributors. After unlocking, tokens will be used for staking and governance and cannot be transferred initially, ensuring internal ecosystem circulation. The goal is gradual permissionlessness, achieving complete decentralization. Current node hardware requirements are high, but future plans will optimize lightweight deployment solutions to lower participation barriers.

$WCT is not just a payment medium but also a carrier of network governance rights and value capture. @WalletConnect is creating a truly censorship-resistant, self-sustaining Web3 connection foundation through technical resilience and innovative economic models.
