In the evolving world of Web3, WalletConnect stands tall as one of the most essential protocols—enabling seamless, secure communication between wallets and decentralized applications. Since its inception in 2018, WalletConnect has become the go-to connection layer for over 45 million users, handling more than 300 million connections across 700+ wallets and 61,000+ apps globally. It is the quiet powerhouse behind countless onchain interactions, and now, it's entering a new phase of decentralization and community ownership with the launch of its native token, $WCT .
The $WCT token is designed to fuel WalletConnect’s permissionless network. With a total capped supply of 1 billion, $WCT introduces meaningful utility and incentives for participants. The token’s four core functions—fees, staking, governance, and rewards—make it a central element in driving sustainable network growth.
Token distribution is structured for long-term alignment:
27% to the WalletConnect Foundation for ecosystem development
18.5% for user and community airdrops
17.5% for staking and performance-based rewards
18.5% to the team
The rest goes to core development and early backers
Staking is already live, with over 123M WCT staked by 59,000+ holders, reinforcing network security and decentralization. Stakers earn rewards and gain voting power in governance, giving the community a direct voice in shaping WalletConnect’s future.
Backed by top-tier validators, the network is ready to scale. The overwhelming success of its public and private sales—raising over $10M with massive oversubscription—proves there’s strong belief in WalletConnect’s mission.
With $WCT, @WalletConnect isn’t just evolving—it’s opening the door to a more user-owned, collaborative Web3. The fundamentals are strong, the vision is clear, and the momentum is real.
