The Relationship Between WCT and the Community
Technological Empowerment: Community-Driven Protocol Evolution
Core Mechanism: WCT serves as a voting credential for protocol upgrades, transferring technical decision-making power to the community.
- Case: In the 2025 v3 version upgrade, the community decided to introduce Session NFTs through Snapshot voting, allowing users to redeem governance weight based on on-chain interaction records, while developers contributing code can earn WCT rewards.
- Data: There are 42,000 addresses participating in proposal voting, of which 73% are ordinary users (holding <10,000 WCT), breaking the dilemma of technical decision-making being monopolized by whales.
- Community Roles:
- Developers: Submit protocol improvement proposals (WCIPs) and receive funding from the foundation upon approval.
- Node Operators: Report vulnerabilities during testnet stress testing and receive WCT rewards (up to 50,000 tokens).
Effect: The speed of technological iteration increased by 40%, and the response time for vulnerability fixes was reduced to within 48 hours.
