I Staked My $WCT with @WalletConnect — Here’s What You Should Know
WalletConnect is one of those tools that quietly powers almost everything in Web3. Whether you're minting NFTs, trading on DeFi platforms, or just connecting your wallet to a dApp — WalletConnect is usually doing the work in the background.
Now, they’ve taken a big step forward by launching their token, $WCT, and giving the community a chance to stake it and earn rewards through staking.walletconnect.network.
I’ve used WalletConnect many times without even thinking about it. But now, I’ve decided to be more than just a user — I’ve become a staker.
Here’s why it made sense:
➙ WalletConnect is used by thousands of apps and wallets daily
➙ $WCT lets the community earn and vote on protocol changes
➙ Staking is easy, secure, and comes with weekly rewards
➙ Long-term holders are rewarded with higher returns and governance rights
To stake, I simply connected my wallet, approved access to my $WCT, and chose how long I wanted to lock it. The longer the lock, the higher the rewards. I liked the fact that my tokens remain safe and are never at risk of slashing. It's a low-maintenance way to earn from a project I already rely on.
Even better, staking turns me into an active part of the protocol. I now have voting power in WalletConnect governance — meaning I get a say in how the system evolves.
Why This Matters
WalletConnect is no longer just a connection tool. It's becoming a full decentralized communication network with:
➙ Plans for public node operators
➙ On-chain voting for proposals
➙ Developer tools and monetization options
➙ A real use case for the $WCT token in Web3 infrastructure
This isn’t just another staking program. It’s a chance to be involved early in a protocol that powers most of what we already use in crypto.
If you’re holding WCT, take a few minutes to check out staking.walletconnect.network.
You might find it’s more than just staking — it’s your chance to contribute to the foundation of Web3.
