Staking $WCT: Why I’m Supporting the Future of WalletConnect
I’ve been using crypto for a while now — swapping tokens, exploring dApps, minting NFTs — and almost every time, I rely on WalletConnect to make those connections smooth and secure.
It works quietly in the background, but @WalletConnect is everywhere in Web3. It lets wallets like MetaMask, Trust Wallet, and others connect with thousands of apps safely, all without exposing your private keys.
Now, WalletConnect has launched its own token, $WCT, and given the community a chance to stake it at staking.walletconnect.network. As someone who uses the protocol daily, I knew this was my opportunity to get more involved.
➙ $WCT is the token that powers WalletConnect’s next chapter
➙ Staking helps secure the network and rewards early supporters
➙ Weekly rewards are paid to stakers — no complicated setup
➙ The longer you lock your WCT, the more you earn
➙ Stakers also get voting power on important protocol decisions
I personally staked my WCT for several months. It was easy — I connected my wallet, chose the amount and duration, and confirmed the transaction. Since then, I’ve been earning rewards every Thursday, and I now have a voice in how the network is run.
The best part? There’s no slashing risk like you might see in other protocols. My tokens are locked but safe until the period ends.
Why I Believe This Matters
WalletConnect is not just a tool — it's infrastructure. And with its future plans, it's turning into a decentralized network with:
➙ Public nodes
➙ On-chain governance
➙ New features for developers and dApps
➙ A real use case for the $WCT token in powering Web3 connections
By staking, I’m not just earning — I’m contributing to a protocol I already trust. If you're holding $WCT or want to be more involved in crypto's backbone, I highly recommend looking into staking.
