✨Project Introduction
WalletConnect (WCT) is a chain-agnostic decentralized protocol that focuses on secure connections between user wallets and dApps. Since its launch in 2018, it has integrated 600+ wallets and 60,000+ applications, facilitated 275 million connections, and served 45 million users. The WCT token promotes the sustainable development of the ecosystem through governance, staking and incentive functions.
💦Ecosystem expansion path
Wallet and application integration:
Currently covers mainstream wallets such as MetaMask and Trust Wallet, as well as head dApps such as Uniswap and Aave.
In 2025, it is planned to add 200 wallets and 20,000+ applications, focusing on expanding emerging chains such as TON and Aptos.
Node network expansion:
Transition from 16 licensed service nodes to a license-free model to attract more operators to join.
Introduce audit nodes and accounting nodes to enhance network transparency and incentive allocation efficiency.
💧Community governance:
Through WCT token voting, the community decides on protocol upgrades, fee models, and ecological fund allocations.
DAO is planned to be established in 2026 to achieve fully decentralized governance.
Developer incentives:
SDK rewards and WalletGuide certification programs are provided to encourage developers to optimize wallet UX.
17.5% of the airdrop pool is used to attract new applications and users and expand ecological coverage.
🛑Problems that can be solved
Cross-chain islands: Through chain-independent protocols, the interaction barriers between different blockchains are eliminated to improve user experience.
Privacy risks: End-to-end encryption eliminates data leakage from centralized servers and ensures transaction security.
Development costs: Standardized SDKs lower the threshold for dApp integration and save 30% of development time.
User threshold: Smart sessions and one-click login functions simplify operations and attract non-technical users.
🛑Future participation opportunities
Launchpool and airdrops:
Currently, Binance Launchpool (starting from April 11) provides BNB, FDUSD, and USDC staking, and rewards 75 million WCT.
Subsequent seasonal airdrops (17.5% tokens) will cover early users, node operators, and developers.
Node operation:
After the node is launched without permission, individuals and institutions can run nodes and share network fees.
Node operators are expected to have an annualized return of 15%-20%.
Ecological cooperation:
Cooperate with emerging public chains (such as TON, Sui) to integrate their native wallets and dApps.
Governance participation:
WCT holders can join the DAO and vote to decide the direction of the ecological fund (27% tokens), such as funding NFT and GameFi projects.
💰Summary
WalletConnect's ecosystem has built a core hub for the Web3 connection layer through extensive wallet and application integration, decentralized node network, and community governance. It solves pain points such as cross-chain interaction, privacy protection and development efficiency, creating a seamless experience for users and developers. In the future, with the advancement of node opening, airdrop incentives and DAO governance, ecological participation opportunities will be more diversified, and it is expected that more than 100 million new users will be added.
KernelDAO is currently facing the dilemma of governance complexity and resource competition, but with the improvement of the market, its potential synergy with WalletConnect (sharing cross-chain technology) can significantly enhance its competitiveness. As the "connection bridge" of Web3, WalletConnect's ecological closed loop will drive the industry towards a more open and interconnected future.
