🧩 What is WCT?

The WalletConnect Token (WCT) is the newly launched native token of the WalletConnect Network—a widely used protocol bridging crypto wallets and decentralized apps (dApps). With over 23 million users and 150 million+ daily connections across 600+ wallets and 40,000+ dApps, WalletConnect has become a cornerstone for secure, cross-chain access to decentralized services.

WCT operates on the OP Mainnet (Optimism layer-2 on Ethereum), delivering Ethereum-level security with faster, lower-cost transactions .

  2. Incentives – Used to reward nodes, developers, and network contributors.

  3. Staking – Users lock WCT to support network security and earn rewards.

        ⚠️ Risks & Challenges

        • Price volatility: A steep drop (~75%) from ATH reflects market risk.

        • Competition: Other governance/staking tokens in the layer‑2 and wallet space could impact adoption.

        ✅ Final Take

        #WCT brings substantial utility, riding on an already mature protocol with a massive user base. Its on‑chain governance and incentive design aim to ensure long-term engagement. The large airdrop program effectively seeded usage, though actual growth depends on active community involvement and smart tokenomics management.

        For short-term traders, recent volatility presents opportunities. For long-term believers in decentralized UX and the WalletConnect vision, WCT could be a foundational asset in your crypto portfolio—just be mindful of token unlocks and active governance to maximize your impact.
