“WCT is like a lab mouse in the chaos of DeFi: it does the dirty work to make the applications run, but no one tips it. So far.”

🌐 What is WCT? The Secret Infrastructure of the Web3 Revolution

WalletConnect is not a hype coin, but the protocol for connecting wallets-applications used by 45M+ users and 600+ wallets (MetaMask, Trust Wallet, etc.). It operates on Ethereum, Solana, Bitcoin, and others, allowing you to connect to dApps without giving private keys or keeping 15 tabs open. The WCT token is the economic engine of this system: .

💡 Why did it explode in 2025?

- Listing on Gate.io: Price rose 40% from $0.276 (April) to ~$1.08 (May), market cap of ~$200M.

- Massive airdrops: 18.5% of supply (185M WCT) distributed to the community as “bait for the horde”.

- Integrations with Big Players: Partnerships with Aave, Uniswap and L2 chains – becoming the “Lego of connectivity” in DeFi.

📉 Tokenomics: 1 Billion WCT and the Psychological Game

- Total supply: 1 billion WCT (only 186M in circulation).

- Distribution: 18% team, 17.5% staking rewards, 18.5% airdrops, the rest for development and marketing.

- Deflationary mechanisms: 10% of fees burned – theoretically, but practically inflation dominates now.

The obligatory joke: “When you see ‘supply 1 billion’, be prepared to wait longer than in line for iPhone 40.”

⚠️ Underestimated Risks (With Historical Evidence)

1. Brutal Volatility: In March 2025, WCT reached $4.46, then plummeted to $0.30 in April – a 93% correction in a month. Reason? Profit-taking + FUD that the SEC wants to attack “utility tokens”.

2. Competition with Dead Chains: Chainlink (CCIP) and Polygon ID are trying to steal its place. WCT remains relevant only if Web3 does not become a dead buzzword.

3. Dependency on Ethereum: Runs on Optimism (L2 Ethereum). If ETH stumbles, WCT pirouettes in the air without a parachute.

📈 Predictions 2025–2030: From “Meh” to “Let's See”

- 2025: $1.20 (max) – if the network reaches 100M users.

- 2027: $0.74 (realistic) – estimates based on gradual adoption.

- 2030: $1.25 (optimistic) – only if it becomes the ISO standard for blockchain connectivity.

⚠️ Warning: Predictions vary wildly. Some analysts (e.g., CoinUnited) promise $3.52 by 2034, but without solid arguments – just extrapolations from the chart.

🛠️ Real Utility vs. Speculation: What Do You Do with WCT?

- Staking: You receive 6-35% APY on certain platforms (risk: smart contract bugs).

- Governance: You vote on protocol upgrades (e.g., fees, new chain support).

- Discounts: Lower fee payments in partner applications.

The problem: 99% of holders buy WCT for speculation, not for utility. It's like buying a BMW just to leave it in the garage.

🔮 The Future: Why It Could Be the “Next HTTP” (Or an AOL of Web3)

- Best Case: Becomes the universal protocol for connecting all wallets – including those of central banks (CBDCs). Price $5+.

- Worst Case: Remains a tool for Web3 enthusiasts, killed by competing standards. Price under $0.10.

- Most Likely Scenario: Survives as a niche, with a price between $0.50-$1.50. Reason? Large ecosystems (Solana, Base) will use their own solutions.

💰 Conclusion: How to Play the WCT Game Without Losing the House

1. Don't invest more than you can lose on slots: 1-2% of your portfolio max.

2. Wait for corrections: History shows that WCT makes -30% after every pump. Buy at $0.50, not at $1.08.

3. Watch real indicators: Active users on WalletConnect > price. If the number decreases, sell.

👉 The final joke: What does WCT say when you say “moon”?

“I can only take 0.01% per transaction. I can't even touch the Moon at this speed.”

⚠️ Warning: WCT is like a charging cable: without it, everything dies, but no one wants to pay extra for the brand. Don't confuse utility with profit!
