Walletconnect announced at the Solana Accelerate conference that Token Walletconnect (WCT) is now live in the Solana block chain. This expansion, driven by Wormhole (NTT) token transfers, marks the first time WCT has gone beyond Ethereum and optimism.
To celebrate the integration, the Walletconnect Foundation is carrying out a specific Airdrop of 5 million WCT tokens to the active users of Solana. The initiative is designed to increase adoption and participation in the Walletconnect governance ecosystem. The associated platforms for Airdrop include prominent applications based on Solana such as Phantom, Jupiter, Backpack and Solflare, and are expected to be revealed more in the coming weeks.
Pedro Gomes, founder and director of the WalletConnect Foundation, said: “My cryptographic career began with Ethereum, and Walletconnect initially focused on Ethereum. But our protocol has become an agnostic chain. This expansion to Solana makes WCT developers “.
Founded in 2018, Walletconnect has become the connective tissue of the web3 ecosystem, promoting more than 278 million connections to wallet and facilitating safe interactions for more than 45 million unique users. Protocol infrastructure is already integrated into Solana applications such as Drift, Helius, Meteora, Kamino and Marinade through the Reown Appkit, which eliminates the bases for a perfect user experience experience after WCT implementation.
WCT, the native token of Walletconnect, plays a vital role in the ecosystem. He currently drives the rethink and the government within the Walletconnect network and is configured to support the rates and incentives of the users in the near future. With the expansion to Solana, the home to more than 100 million monthly active wallets, the number of WCT headlines is expected to meet 145,000, increase quickly.
Robinson Burkey, commercial and co -founder director of the Wormhole Foundation, highlighted the importance of a fluid cross chain experience: “Multichain must feel like a chain. The expansion of WCT to Solana using NTT is a clear signal and users want safe and sewing value transfer in all times of Ecosy.
The WCT expansion also advances the long -term road map of Walletconnect. The new governance mechanisms, cross -chain incentive programs and broader community participation initiatives are in process. The Foundation has suggested new integrations beyond Solana, reinforcing its strategy to become the reference connectivity layer for decentralized applications and wallets in all block chains.
Solana Airdrop is the second important distribution after an Airdrop of 50 million WCT in 2024. More details about eligibility, claim procedures and distribution deadlines are soon expected.
This development occurs in the middle of a broader tendency of protocols that adopt multicine strategies to capture the liquidity and user bases in ecosystems. With this movement, Walletconnect increases its usefulness and community footprint, as well as strengthens its position as a critical layer in the evolving web 3 infrastructure battery.
