$WCT is ranked first on Upbit's trending list today! Let's talk briefly about WalletConnect. Apple recently quietly updated its App Store policy, relaxing restrictions on developers in the U.S. app store. The new rules allow developers to offer external payment methods within apps and support users purchasing non-fungible tokens (NFTs) through third-party marketplaces. This move could be a significant shift in the future, giving decentralized applications a chance to expand within the iOS ecosystem and unlock more potential. @WalletConnect pioneered the first standard enabling secure connections between mobile apps and wallets. At this juncture, as a cornerstone application for cryptocurrency on mobile, WalletConnect has introduced Smart Sessions, an intelligent connection feature that provides a new paradigm for next-generation decentralized AI-driven applications. Smart Sessions redefine the on-chain experience. No more endless wallet pop-ups and manual confirmations—users simply connect once, set clear rules, and authorize an app or an AI Agent to execute transactions on their behalf within predefined security boundaries. In practical application scenarios, this could enable: - Automated trading strategies (e.g., DCA, arbitrage bots) - Full-chain gaming - Convenient on-chain subscription payments akin to Stripe - AI Agents that can manage assets and strategies in real-time Imagine a future where we can set strategies, authorize AI Agents via Smart Sessions, and achieve 24/7 fund management or one-click token purchases according to predefined plans, enabling truly zero-delay transactions. Say goodbye to cumbersome front-end user experiences and fully enjoy the security of Web3 combined with the usability of Web2. Smart Sessions are not just an upgrade in user experience; they fundamentally reshape WalletConnect's economic operating mechanism. Each Smart Session represents a new on-chain interaction workflow. As Smart Sessions are driven by AI Agents across applications, wallets, and custody solutions, transaction volumes are expected to grow exponentially. In the future, WalletConnect will design an economic model introducing transaction fees. Every AI Agent transaction will require WCT to power it—the more automated Agents conducting transactions, the greater the market demand for WCT, achieving true value capture. Since its launch, WCT has performed well. It’s evident that for WalletConnect, issuing a token is not the goal but a means to expand its ecosystem. WCT is the core tool for maintaining the economic system's operation. With WCT's support, WalletConnect is making bold moves to invest heavily in AI, continuing to lay the groundwork for Web3's development toward AI. Quoting WalletConnect founder Pedro from his article: "In the future, you won’t need to strive to get on-chain; the chain will serve you." Smart Sessions will become the new cornerstone of an AI-driven, mobile-native, on-chain world. On May 23, Pedro will deliver a speech at @solana Accelerate in New York, announcing major collaboration news with Solana. Looking forward to seeing what kind of chemistry SOL and WCT will create.
