WalletConnect is the connectivity layer for the financial internet. WalletConnect is powering the apps, wallets, and payments that move billions in value every week. If you’ve ever made a crypto transaction, there’s a good chance WalletConnect made it possible.
That blue logo? It’s everywhere as trusted in crypto as Visa is in traditional finance.
And this month, the pace isn’t slowing. August was a breakthrough: new infra, major partners live, adoption growing by the week.
In this update, we’re breaking down what’s launching, what’s scaling, and why it matters for builders creating the next generation of financial UX onchain.
Let’s get into it.
Cumulative Connections: 352,800,000+
YoY connection growth is 133%
In August 2024, WalletConnect powered 150 million connections. One year later, that number has more than doubled, reaching over 350 million.
As the crypto market grows, so does WalletConnect. The overall crypto market cap grew 110% (from $1.9 trillion to $4 trillion) in the same timeframe. WalletConnect connections grew 133%.
Every week, more wallets, apps, institutions, and users choose WalletConnect to power their onchain experiences. Adoption is not just increasing. It’s accelerating.
This is only the beginning.
Unique Wallets: 51,360,000+
WalletConnect has reached over 51 million unique wallets, spanning every corner of the onchain ecosystem. From hardware to ecosystem-native wallets, more users are onboarding every day.
From everyday users to institutions, WalletConnect is built to meet them on any network, connecting wallets, apps, and financial activity without friction.
Integrated App Projects: 74,000+
The onchain internet is expanding fast. New projects are launching. Major institutions are onboarding. And WalletConnect continues to power the connections behind it all.
It works across wallets of every kind, hardware, software, Metamask, Coin98, Ledger, Binance, and more, so your users can connect to their preferred app instantly, with whatever provider they trust.
$WCT Updates:
WCT is the engine behind WalletConnect’s decentralization. By staking WCT, users help secure the network and earn sustainable rewards backed by real network usage.
Here’s what is happening to $WCT:
- Over 122,565,000+ WCT is currently staked
- More than 49,350+ stakers
- Up to 22% APY in staking WCT rewards
Token transparency:
WalletConnect Token ($WCT) just earned one of the highest scores from Blockworks Token Transparency: 39 out of 40. WCT ranked ahead of major tokens like $AERO, $SYRUP, and $ZK, a strong signal for builders, investors, and the ecosystem.
Blockworks defines this framework as “a standardized, open-source disclosure framework helping crypto projects earn trust and signal transparency.” And that’s exactly what we’re committed to. WalletConnect will always be open source, transparent, and accountable to the people building with us.
$WCT live globally on Coinbase
The WCT-USD trading pair is now in full-trading mode on Coinbase globally and Advanced Trade. Limit, market and stop orders are all now available.
Additionally, if you have a Base App, and have a linked Coinbase account, you can buy WCT directly in the Base App.
Wallet Rewards Now Distributed
It’s official: Wallet Rewards are live, and the latest round has already dropped. Over 105,000 WCT have been distributed to participating wallets.
If you’re building with WalletConnect, this is your moment to earn for doing what you already do best, delivering great UX.
Here’s how to get started:
Become a Wallet Reward Partner: Join the program and get rewarded as your users connect.
Get WalletConnect Wallet Certified: Certification is required to qualify.
This isn’t just an incentive. It’s a recognition of the wallets shaping the onchain experience for millions.
WalletConnect Joins Global Dollar Network
**WalletConnect has officially joined the Global Dollar Network, one of the fastest-growing stablecoin networks in the world.**
This move brings WalletConnect deeper into the heart of global payments infrastructure. With Global Dollar, builders can unlock programmable dollars, stablecoin-native payouts, and new flows that work across wallets, chains, and apps.
For WalletConnect, this isn’t just a partnership. It’s part of the mission to make onchain UX ready for real-world scale.
Together, we’re unlocking:
- Seamless access to stablecoins with built-in economic upside
- Composable financial rails for wallets and apps
- Trusted infrastructure designed for global adoption
The Global Dollar Network is built for speed, security, and scalability. By integrating at the network layer, WalletConnect continues to expand its role as the connective tissue of the onchain economy, now with even more power to support developers building cross-border, dollar-denominated experiences.
WalletConnect will support Arc by Circle
WalletConnect will support the launch Arc by **Circle,** a new chain built for the future of stablecoin finance. As the connectivity layer of the financial internet, WalletConnect will power Arc’s access to the onchain economy: 70,000+ apps. 700+ wallets. Millions of users.
This integration brings stablecoin-native finance into every corner of the WalletConnect ecosystem, giving builders and institutions the infrastructure to create seamless, scalable, and secure financial experiences.
