The next time you use "Scan" on a DApp to complete a connection, you may not realize that a token is quietly shaping a decentralized future behind the scenes." — WalletConnect has created a bridge connecting users with dApps, and WCT is a crucial cornerstone of this bridge. WCT is the native token of the WalletConnect network, serving governance, incentives, staking, and fee mechanisms.
It is issued on the Optimism chain, merging Ethereum's security with the speed of the OP mainnet. The total supply cap is 1 billion tokens, of which approximately 18.5% is allocated for airdrops, and 27% is reserved for the foundation. This is not just a token; it is also a mechanism for ecological co-construction, empowering the network's operation by rewarding nodes and wallets that "perform well".
WCT initiated its transferability through governance voting in April 2025, officially entering the era of community autonomy. Today, WCT has completed integration on the Solana network, allowing for deposits and withdrawals, further enhancing cross-chain compatibility.
In the future, WCT will not only be an accessory to connecting tools but also a source of power for on-chain interactions. It will become the core support for governance mechanisms, reward structures, fee structures, and cross-chain expansion. Do you want to know how WalletConnect will use WCT to connect more possibilities? Now is the best time to learn more deeply.
