WalletConnect, a web3 communications protocol that connects crypto wallets to decentralized applications, is set to launch its native Connect Token (WCT) on Optimism's Mainnet, an Ethereum Layer 2 network. The token will also be airdropped to users.
Registration for the WCT airdrop will open on September 24.
WalletConnect Inc. has rebranded to Reown.
The WCT token will have an initial supply capped at 1 billion, with 18.5% — or 185 million tokens — allocated for airdrop season 1, Houlgrave told The Block. The airdrop will include WalletConnect end users, as well as wallets, apps, nodes, software development kits and communities that have contributed to WalletConnect's success, Houlgrave said.
