More than just a connection: @WalletConnect and $WCT usher in an era of equality in Web3

If Web3 had an 'operating system', @WalletConnect would be its core engine. It enables over 600 wallets to connect with more than 65,000 decentralized applications across various networks, achieving over 300 million secure connections, all with a simple mechanism that feels like magic: 'Just scan, and you'll connect.' Today, with the emergence of $WCT, this technical power is shifting from the hands of developers to the users themselves.

Security is the backbone of this protocol. Unlike traditional communication methods that may expose private keys to risk, WalletConnect has devised a 'secure channel' mechanism, where scanning grants temporary permissions, allowing the decentralized application access to only the necessary information, while private keys remain stored within the wallet. This design gives beginners the confidence to experiment and meets the security requirements of enterprises — it is no coincidence that it has earned the trust of 47.5 million users over six years.

With $WCT, protocol governance shifts from elite decisions to collective contribution. Staked token holders can benefit from rewards of 17.5% from the prize pool, in addition to voting on vital decisions such as supporting new networks or developing future features. So far, over 106 million WCT have been staked with the participation of 140,000 community members, embodying the spirit of decentralization that asserts infrastructure should be managed by its actual users.

Interestingly, WalletConnect does not seek to compete with any wallet; rather, it aims to empower them all. When all wallets adopt a unified standard for connecting to all applications, the efficiency of the ecosystem leaps to unprecedented levels — just as standardizing phone charging ports led to an explosion of innovation in the device market. Today, #WalletConnect removes barriers to connection in Web3, and **$WCT** invites you to be more than just a user: to become a beneficiary and participant in decision-making, because real Web3 has no place for mere spectators.
