When you open the webpage and are pleasantly surprised to find that your wallet has silently connected - this is the magic of WalletConnect Token (WCT).
In the world of Web3, connection is often the least noticeable yet the most important link. WalletConnect Token (WCT) is the beginning of it all, the native token introduced by the WalletConnect Network (now Reown), representing the shift from centralized connections to truly decentralized protocols.
Since its inception in 2018, WalletConnect has connected mobile wallets and DApps, such as MetaMask and Trust Wallet, through an open-source protocol without leaking private keys, ensuring user security and privacy. Today, WCT carries out four main missions: governance, staking, network rewards, and future fee mechanisms, empowering holders with governance rights to support the transparent evolution of the network.
Its initial token economic model is non-transferable, aimed at stabilizing the network and preventing speculation, with gradual relaxation of transfer conditions under community governance. The total supply of WCT is fixed at 1 billion, with no additional issuance plans, highlighting its long-term value orientation.
Meanwhile, WalletConnect has become the cornerstone of Web3 UX: supporting tens of millions of users, tens of thousands of applications, and cross-chain compatibility with Ethereum, Solana, Polygon, etc., covering over 600 wallets and more than 67,000 projects. The introduction of WCT injects an 'economic' and 'co-governance' dimension into these connections, making decentralization warmer and more sustainable.
