WTC Wallet Connect, or more precisely about how to connect wallets for WTC tokens (Waltonchain) so you can manage, store, or transfer WTC tokens securely.

🧠 Introduction: What Is Wallet Connect?
WalletConnect is an open-source protocol that allows users to connect their crypto wallets to decentralized applications (dApps) securely, usually via QR code scanning. But WalletConnect ≠ wallet, it is just a connecting tool.
However, in the context of WTC (Waltonchain), since this is a coin based on its own blockchain (not an ERC-20 or BEP-20 token), WalletConnect is not used directly for Waltonchain as we use it on Ethereum or Binance Smart Chain.

🔐 Types of Wallets for WTC (Waltonchain).
Because Waltonchain uses its own blockchain, you need a wallet that supports the Waltonchain protocol.
✅ 1. Waltonchain Wallet (Official Wallet).
Previously available as:
Desktop wallet (Windows, macOS).
Mobile wallet (Android/iOS) – likely inactive now.
Supports sending, receiving, and staking WTC.
Usually requires a private key or keystore file to log in.
✅ 2. Alternative Wallets (Limited Possibilities Currently).
Not many major wallets (like Trust Wallet or MetaMask) support WTC because:
WTC is not an ERC-20 or BEP-20 token.
Many common wallets only support Ethereum/BSC/Solana based tokens.

🔌 Can WTC Be Accessed Through WalletConnect?
📌 Short answer: Not directly.
Because WalletConnect is used to connect wallets (like MetaMask, Trust Wallet) to dApps running on networks like Ethereum or Binance Smart Chain, WTC on the Waltonchain blockchain cannot be accessed directly via WalletConnect, unless:
➕ If:
WTC is transferred to another network in the form of wrapped tokens (for example: WTC-ERC20 or WTC-BEP20).
Then store it in a wallet like Trust Wallet or MetaMask.
In this condition, WalletConnect can only be used.
However, there is currently no official indication that WTC has an active version of wrapped tokens on Ethereum or BSC.

💡 Safe Tips for Managing WTC.
1. Use the official wallet (if still available), from the site Waltonchain.org.
2. Backup the private key/keystore file and store it offline.
3. Check project development activity – does the wallet still receive updates?
4. Do not send WTC to incompatible wallets (e.g., MetaMask) as it can lead to asset loss.

📩 Conclusion
WalletConnect does not directly support WTC, as WTC is not an EVM (Ethereum Virtual Machine) token.
Use the official wallet from Waltonchain if you want to store and manage WTC.
Beware of security risks and project stagnation.
