With the continuous evolution of blockchain technology, user experience (UX) is gradually becoming [Web3](/web3) The core focus of development. In this field, WalletConnect stands out with its decentralized connection network, and the WCT token, as the core driving force of its ecosystem, is attracting the attention of global investors.

This article will delve into the background, functions, and investment potential of WCT Token in 2025, helping you fully understand this emerging cryptocurrency asset.

## What is WCT Token?

WCT Token, namely WalletConnect Token, is the native token of the WalletConnect network. WalletConnect is a chain-agnostic open protocol ecosystem designed to provide users with a seamless experience of connecting wallets and decentralized applications (dApps) across chains. Since its launch in 2018, the network has facilitated over 250 million secure connections for more than 35 million users, spanning across 600 wallets and 54,000 applications.

WCT Token officially launched in 2025 [Optimism](/price/optimism-op) The launch of Gatechain mainnet, based on the security of <a href="/ja/price/ethereum-eth" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">Ethereum</a> and the high performance of Gatechain mainnet, provides tools for ecosystem participants for governance, rewards, and fee payments.

The initial supply limit of WCT Token is 1 billion, including community airdrops, foundation reserves, team allocations, and other parts. This design aims to support the long-term development and sustainability of the network.

## The core function of WCT Token

1. Decentralized Governance
   WCT Token gives holders the right to participate in the governance of the WalletConnect network. Holders can vote on network proposals (such as fee structures or feature upgrades) to ensure the community's leading position in network development. This decentralized governance model makes WCT Token a key pillar of community-driven ecosystem.

2. Staking and Rewards
   Users can support the stability and security of the network by staking WCT tokens and receive corresponding rewards. 17.5% of the initial WCT token supply is allocated to incentivize network participants, including wallet providers, node operators, etc. This mechanism not only enhances the security of the network but also provides holders with the opportunity for passive income.

3. Fee Payment
   While WalletConnect network currently does not charge any fees, a fee structure based on Monthly Active Users (MAU) may be introduced in the future, with WCT token becoming the primary tool for paying these fees. This design aims to ensure the long-term sustainability of the network while creating more use cases for the WCT token.


## WCT Token's investment potential

As of April 8, 2025, the WCT token has raised $10 million through multiple community and private token sales, demonstrating a high level of market recognition. For investors, WCT tokens show several investment highlights:

Ecological growth drive: WalletConnect Network provides connection services to over 5 million active users every month. With the expansion of the <a href="/ja/web3" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">Web3</a> user base, the demand for WCT tokens is expected to continue to grow.

Airdrops and community incentives: In the first quarter, 50 million WCT tokens were airdropped, covering community users, developers, and strategic partners. This strategy not only increases the liquidity of the token, but also enhances community engagement.

Non-inflationary design: The WCT token does not adopt an inflation mechanism in the early stage, but supports network operation through existing distribution and potential fee structures. This scarcity may drive the long-term value appreciation of the WCT token.

However, the WCT token is currently in a non-transferable stage, with limited liquidity. The activation of the transfer function in the future will depend on community voting, which brings a certain level of uncertainty to investors. Therefore, it is recommended to closely monitor its official announcements and market dynamics before investing in WCT tokens.

## Future Outlook of WCT Token

WalletConnect founder Pedro Gomes has stated that the launch of the WCT token is based on the strategic decision of "token-market fit." As the network shifts towards full decentralization and permissionless mode, the WCT token will serve as a <a href="/ja/price/link-ln" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">link</a> connecting users, developers, and node operators. By 2025, with the gradual unlocking of governance and fee functions, the WCT token is expected to play a significant role in the Web3 infrastructure sector.

On social media, users have mixed reviews of the WCT token. Some are optimistic about its ecological potential, believing that "WCT is the future of Web3 UX"; while others question its initial allocation transparency, calling for more community oversight. Regardless, the success of the WCT token will depend on the actual application expansion of the network and the establishment of community trust.

WCT Token serves as the cornerstone of the WalletConnect network, not only carrying out functions of decentralized governance and rewards but also providing investors with the opportunity to participate in the growth of the Web3 ecosystem.

With its strong technical foundation and continuously expanding user base, WCT Token shows great potential in 2025. For investors looking to seize the blockchain UX trend, WCT Token is undoubtedly a target worth paying attention to.
