🔗 Part 5/10: WCT Use Cases: What Could the Token Actually Power?
Let’s be clear:
📌 $WCT has no active utility yet.
But that doesn’t mean we can’t explore what it might be used for — especially based on what other protocol tokens have done.
Here are the top possibilities 👇
1️⃣ Protocol Governance
Most likely use case:
$WCT holders could vote on key protocol decisions, like:
🔹 Which features get built
🔹 How funds are distributed
🔹 What networks are prioritized
🔹 Security upgrades or SDK changes
Think of it like ENS or Uniswap governance, but for wallet infrastructure.
2️⃣ Incentives for Integration
WalletConnect wants to grow adoption — not just by users, but by:
🔹 Wallets
🔹 dApps
🔹 Chains
🔹 Developers
$WCT could be used to reward integration, similar to how The Graph or Optimism run grants & retroactive rewards.
3️⃣ Premium Access / API Features
WalletConnect’s v2 is far more powerful.
Future versions might gate advanced tooling, analytics, or SDK access behind staking or holding WCT — especially for wallets & devs.
→ Example: Pay with WCT to access session insights or custom features.
4️⃣ Staking or Delegation
To encourage protocol alignment, WalletConnect may introduce:
💰 Staking WCT to earn protocol rewards
🤝 Delegation for governance participation
🛡️ Security staking (e.g., to vouch for connections/apps)
Nothing confirmed yet — but this would align with DePIN-style models.
🚧 A Reminder
These are all speculative, but realistic.
No official roadmap has confirmed them (yet). Always DYOR and manage risk accordingly.
