What hints are there from the latest WCT announcement?
Technical integration drives cross-chain ecosystem expansion
The appearance of EthCC marks WalletConnect's accelerated penetration into the Ethereum Layer 2 ecosystem. Its collaboration with decentralized storage protocols and founder promotes the integration of WCT protocol into the Rollup application stack (such as Optimism, Arbitrum), achieving standardization of cross-chain signatures and data verification. This will stimulate dApp adoption rates, with 45 million wallet users potentially doubling, forcing project parties to hold WCT to pay connection fees, leading to a surge in token utility demand. In the short term, after the Solana airdrop, the Ethereum ecosystem may become the next main battlefield for staking.
