👀 Have you ever been stuck at the "connect wallet" step when using a DApp?
Failed to scan, wrong chain switch, authorization taking forever...
Actually, this isn't just your problem; it's something the entire Web3 is still working hard to solve.
But there is one project that has quietly taken on all the dirty work of "connecting"—that is WalletConnect. @WalletConnect
🔌 It’s not just a "scanning tool"; it’s the connection engine of Web3.
Many people think WalletConnect is just for "scanning to connect"
but its status is like "Visa + USB interface" in Web3, serving as the underlying standard that links wallets, chains, and DApps together.
The wallet you use and the app you play with are likely integrated with WalletConnect behind the scenes.
📊 The latest data is as follows:
700+ wallets integrated
Compatible with 67,000+ dApps
45 million users globally
Over 300 million total connections
A growth rate of 340% in the past year
🚀 How can it support the entire ecosystem?
I’ve summarized four key points:
1️⃣ Connecting all wallets + chains + applications:
One protocol integration covers all mainstream chains, saving developers a lot of detours.
2️⃣ User experience is very smooth:
Scan to connect, easy authorization, with the addition of Link Mode and Smart Sessions, even "chain switching" can be done seamlessly.
3️⃣ Security is solid:
Transaction encryption, anti-phishing alerts, contract detection, tutorial guidance... it has everything it should, and it goes beyond just "reminders"; it truly protects your wallet assets.
4️⃣ In the long run, it’s sustainable:
It is moving towards decentralization through the $WCT token, with future connection fees, staking rewards, and governance proposals all relying on $WCT.
🧠 Looking further: it’s not just about connecting wallets.
WalletConnect's goal is to build a unified "on-chain identity system."
As we run around in Web3, we have to rebuild our identity and asset authorization on every platform, which creates a fragmented experience.
WalletConnect aims to bridge these gaps, allowing your "on-chain persona" to truly integrate, giving you control over your data, permissions, and assets.
⚠️ There are still issues, but it is evolving.
Currently, there are some minor problems, such as:
Sometimes unstable connections on mobile
Phishing from fake pages remains a risk
The protocol has a slight barrier for new developers
But WalletConnect is not resting; it has already launched development tools like WalletKit, security modules, and protocol optimization components, and the entire connection experience is rapidly evolving.
🧩 Finally, my understanding is:
If the wallet is the "key" and the DApp is the "door,"
then WalletConnect is the standard for the lock and doorknob—you don’t feel its presence, but you need it to open every door in Web3.
$WCT is not just a token; it’s more like the "fuel" and "governance core" of this connection network, the economic support that keeps the entire system running.
