Welcome to the WalletConnect Network
The WalletConnect Network is growing fast, with new apps and wallets joining every week. We’re excited to welcome Rootstock Collective, KuCoin Wallet, and more to the ecosystem, making it even easier for users to connect, transact, and build across chains.
WalletConnect Bets Big on AI and Mobile Adoption to Power Next Phase of Protocol’s Growth
The future of onchain isn’t about more wallets. It’s about smarter sessions. WalletConnect’s Smart Sessions, or what we are increasingly referring to as Automated Onchain Actions, are redefining how users interact with blockchain, replacing constant wallet popups with secure, delegated permissions that enable apps and AI agents to transact on their behalf.
This shift removes friction, unlocks real automation, and lays the foundation for mobile-native, AI-powered onchain experiences. As the technology scales, it will introduce a new layer of protocol utility for $WCT, driving long-term value through increased transaction volume and ecosystem usage. From retail to institutions, the next era of onchain growth will be powered by intelligent agents, seamless sessions, and infrastructure that just works. Read more here
