Price prediction at the end of the articleProject Introduction: WalletConnect is an open-source network that seamlessly connects wallets with DApps. It connects users to decentralized applications through secure and interoperable protocols, aiming to provide users with secure and convenient cross wallet and application connectivity services. WCT has the following uses in the WalletConnect network: governance: can participate in decentralized governance, vote on proposals for network upgrades, cost structures, and reward allocation. On chain governance is expected to be launched in the second quarter of 2025. Pledge: Users and service node operators can pledge WCT to support network security and stability, and receive rewards. The staking model is flexible, with a lock up period ranging from 1 week to 2 years. Rewards are calculated based on the amount of staking and the length of the lock up period to prevent excessive concentration. Reward: 17.5% of the tokens (175 million) are used to incentivize network participants, with the first 5% (50 million) distributed in the first year and the rest distributed in subsequent years. The reward targets include users, wallets, applications, and node operators. Gas fee: There will be no fee charged in the initial stage of the network, but a fee model based on monthly active users (MAU) may be introduced in the future, which requires WCT payment. The specific empowerment will be determined by community governance. The operation mechanism of WalletConnect: supports QR code scanning, simplifies user operations Initiate Connection: Users initiate a connection request by scanning the QR code provided by the application. Transfer connection: The wallet receives communication requests within seconds and relies on a relay server to achieve real-time interaction Protect Connection: WalletConnect ensures the privacy and security of user data by encrypting messages between the wallet and the application Key data for project operation: Developed and operated continuously for nearly 7 years Over 45 million users have provided 275 million links.
