If we're talking about which Web3 wallet project can really mix, WalletConnect definitely counts as one. Don’t be misled by its low profile compared to those projects shouting about revolutionizing the world; what it does is the most fundamental and hardest to replace task: How do wallets and DApps greet each other? Rely on it.
In the past, communication between wallets and DApps relied on 'centralized intermediaries' to connect them, which was not only slow but also insecure. WalletConnect chooses not to take this old path, implementing point-to-point encryption directly, bypassing middlemen, with low communication latency and high security.
The WCT ecosystem is not to be taken lightly:
More than 80% of the leading DApps have connected to this protocol, including Uniswap and OpenSea;
Wallet support is nearly comprehensive, whether you use a plugin wallet or a cold wallet, compatibility is maximized;
There are 2 million connection requests every day, with an annual growth rate of 300%. The data shows that many people are quite optimistic.
Now it has also launched a $WCT token for protocol governance—whoever holds the tokens has a say, with votes on nodes and upgrades. In other words, it aims to gradually transform from a communication protocol into a decentralized infrastructure DAO.
I want to say that WCT is not just hype; it is genuinely doing 'useful' things. You may not understand Web3, but you cannot avoid WalletConnect.
