Every day, millions of users rely on WalletConnect to interact securely across apps, wallets, custodians, and institutions. At the core of this trust is our community of contributors and token holders. By staking $WCT, you play a direct role in reinforcing the stability, security, and longevity of the network.
To further recognize and strengthen this commitment, WalletConnect is launching Boosted Stakers Rewards, a program designed to reward long-term contributors who choose to lock up and actively participate in the growth of the WalletConnect ecosystem.
Why Boosted Stakers’ Rewards
The vision is simple: those who commit more deeply should be rewarded more meaningfully. Longer lock-up durations increase the average staking period, which makes the network stronger and more resilient. Unlike traditional models that prioritize the size of capital staked, WCT staking emphasizes time commitment and governance participation over stake size.
This approach ensures that even staking participants with a smaller staking position can benefit. By rewarding consistency and active contribution, we’re empowering a global community. Those who staked over 100 WCT and long-term will be rewarded. This will be an ad-hoc rewards program, as rewards given through staking will continue under the Network governance. This campaign will be rewards on top of the rewards given by staking.
Program Details
- Total Rewards: 2.5M WCT allocated to boosted rewards
- Eligibility: Stakers with at least 100 WCT locked long-term and actively participating in governance and staking
- Note: Those who staked for less than 2 weeks are ineligible for boosted staking rewards.
The rewards will be distributed in two waves:
Wave 1 – September 2025
- Criteria: lock-up duration and stake amount
- Pool: 1M WCT
- Snapshot: the final time for staking actions snapshotted is before 2025-09-10 (exclusive), based on all time activity but only active staking positions
Wave 2 – End of Year
- Criteria: lock-up duration, stake amount, and governance voting participation
- Pool: 1.5M WCT
- Snapshot: Coming soon, commit to staking now to be eligible
Recognizing Active Contributors
Boosted rewards aren’t just about locking tokens. Active contributors who participate in governance and voting will be recognized more strongly in Wave 2. This ensures that the program rewards not only those who commit to staking but also those who engage in shaping the future of the protocol.
How Rewards Are Distributed for this Program
The distribution formula is designed to be fair and community-oriented:
- Lock-up period carries more weight than stake size, ensuring accessibility for smaller contributors
- A minimum threshold (100 WCT) to identify token holders pursuing meaningful participation
Looking Ahead
Boosted Stakers Rewards is about more than incentives. It’s about building a culture of shared responsibility, long-term alignment, and contributor recognition. Together, by staking and participating in governance, our community strengthens WalletConnect’s open and decentralized infrastructure.
If you are already staking, consider extending your commitment. If you are new, this is the perfect moment to get started. Every contribution, big or small, strengthens the ecosystem we’re building together.
