Imagine: You have 5 different brands of phones (wallets) and want to connect to 30 different system devices (DApps), but find that each interface is different — this used to be the everyday crash moment for Web3 users 😩. What WalletConnect does is like inventing a 'universal power socket', whether it's an Ethereum wallet, a Solana DApp, or a Polygon on-chain tool, just plug in and it connects steadily ⚡.

From 'everyone playing their own game' to 'holding hands and dancing' 💃

In 2018, when blockchains were still in a 'fragmented state', WalletConnect entered with the gene of open-source protocol. It acts like an invisible operator 📞, building encrypted channels between wallets and DApps:

You want to log into Aave with MetaMask? Scan a code, WalletConnect instantly establishes an end-to-end encrypted connection, safer than sending files via WeChat 🔒.

Change the scene: Play DeFi on the Solana chain with Trust Wallet, switch to the Optimism chain to buy NFTs? No need to log out and back in, it has already built the cross-chain 'bridge' 🌉.

This is not a simple 'connection', but makes 47.5 million users' 300 million operations feel like shaking hands in the same room — full-chain interoperability is about this smoothness ✨.

600+ wallets + 65,000+DApps: A grand 'blockchain party' 🎉

Data doesn't lie: Supporting over 600 wallets (equivalent to half of the mobile brand library), more than 65,000 applications (richer than the finance category in app stores), WalletConnect acts like the party organizer, enabling introverted wallets and extroverted DApps to interact naturally:

Retail investors use Coinbase Wallet to buy tokens, switch to Uniswap for trading, without needing to enter private keys — it replaces cumbersome operations with cryptographic signatures 🖋.

Developers love it more: No need to write interfaces separately for each wallet, integrating the WalletConnect protocol means embracing all users at once, the time saved can be used to develop 3 more features 💻.

WCT token: Installing a 'smart chip' on the 'socket' 💡

If WalletConnect is the hardware, then the WCT token is the software that allows it to evolve:

WCT running on Optimism and Solana, like the community's 'voting rights' 🎫 — Users stake WCT to decide the direction of protocol upgrades, such as whether to support new blockchains.

It is also a 'lubricant': Stakers can earn network rewards, indirectly making the entire connection system more stable, just like giving the socket regular maintenance to avoid poor contact 🔧.

Why is it called the 'infrastructure ceiling' of Web3? 🏗

While everyone is busy with 'new chains' and 'new applications', WalletConnect quietly became an 'invisible champion':

It doesn't issue tokens for profit, but uses open-source protocols to solve the most painful 'connection difficulties' — this positioning of 'willing to be a supporting role' makes all projects rely on it 🍃.

Full-chain interoperability is not just a slogan: Now it can connect Bitcoin, Ethereum, and in the future even if a 'Mars chain' pops up, its protocol can quickly adapt, just like a universal socket that is always compatible with new plugs 🔌.

Perhaps one day in the future, you won't even think about it while operating your wallet — but that’s precisely its strength: A good connection should be as natural as air, yet indispensable 🌬.
