In just a few years, @WalletConnect has grown from being a simple bridge between wallets and dApps into a full-scale network that is quietly powering the future of onchain interactions. As of September 2025, the project isn’t just “connecting wallets.” It is evolving into the connectivity layer for the financial internet.

Explosive Growth in Usage

The numbers tell the story best. WalletConnect has now processed more than 352 million cumulative connections, linking over 51 million unique wallets to a massive ecosystem of 74,000+ applications and projects. That’s not just growth — it’s proof that developers and users trust WalletConnect to handle their daily crypto interactions.

Each new connection reflects the shift from fragmented dApps to a unified onchain experience. Whether it’s trading, gaming, or DeFi, WalletConnect has become the invisible backbone that makes Web3 usable at scale.

$WCT at the Core

The WalletConnect Token ($WCT) isn’t just a governance badge — it’s the fuel behind network incentives.

  • Over 122 million WCT are staked by nearly 50,000 stakers, with yields reaching up to 22% APY.

  • Rewards aren’t just theoretical; more than 105,000 WCT have already been distributed to wallet partners through the Wallet Rewards Program.

  • $WCT’s transparency rating has also been recognized in the industry, ranking among the most reliable assets tracked by Blockworks.

In short, staking $WCT is no longer just about earning yield — it’s about securing and expanding the network’s future.

Integrations That Matter

Partnerships have always been WalletConnect’s strength, and 2025 has been packed with new names joining the ecosystem:

  • Wallets like Gemini Wallet, Trezor, and Porto by Anchorage now integrate directly.

  • Apps such as BOB, CGPT, and Dexari are live, showing just how diverse the use cases have become.

  • Community campaigns with Solayer, Bungee, and Layer3 have brought hundreds of thousands of dollars’ worth of $WCT rewards to engaged users.

Even more significant is WalletConnect’s step into stablecoin infrastructure. By joining the Global Dollar Network and supporting Arc by Circle, WalletConnect is positioning itself as a real player in programmable, cross-border finance.

Innovation in User Experience

While most protocols focus on scaling transactions, WalletConnect is solving something equally important: the wallet experience. Its “Smart Sessions” feature reduces the constant pop-ups and approvals that frustrate users, while new wallet integrations like Tangem push the bar higher with transaction previews, risk detection, and phishing protection.

This shows that the team isn’t just chasing numbers — they’re making sure the next wave of crypto adoption comes with safety and simplicity built in.

What’s Next?

The team has already teased major announcements for Q4 2025. If the past year is any indicator, we can expect advancements in governance, more decentralization with permissionless node operations, and new metrics like Total Value Facilitated (TVF) that better reflect the network’s impact.

Final Thoughts

#WalletConnect has quietly become one of the most important layers of Web3. With its unmatched growth, expanding partnerships, and a token economy that rewards participation, the project is proving that true adoption is built on connectivity and trust.

If 2024 was about scaling, then 2025 is about maturity — and WalletConnect looks ready to lead the charge into a more connected, secure, and usable financial internet.
