$WCT ranked No. 1 on Upbit's popularity list today! Let's talk a little bit about WalletConnect. Apple recently quietly changed its App Store policy to ease developer restrictions on app stores in the US. The new rules allow developers to offer external payment methods in their apps and allow users to purchase non-fungible tokens (NFTs) through third-party marketplaces. This move may be a major shift in the future, as decentralized applications finally have a chance to stretch their muscles and unleash more potential in the iOS ecosystem. @WalletConnect pioneered the first standard that made it possible to connect securely between mobile apps and wallets. At this node, as the cornerstone application of cryptocurrency mobile, WalletConnect launched the Smart Sessions intelligent connection function, providing a new paradigm for the next generation of decentralized AI-driven applications. Smart Sessions redefines the on-chain experience. Instead of endless wallet pop-ups and manual confirmations, users only need to connect once, set explicit rules, and then authorize an application or AI agent to execute transactions on their behalf within preset security boundaries. In a practical scenario, this will be possible on-chain: - Automated trading strategies (e.g. DCA, arbitrage bots) - Full-chain gaming - Convenient on-chain subscription payments like Stripe - An AI agent that can manage assets and policies in real time Imagine a future where we can set a good strategy and empower AI Agents through Smart Sessions to achieve round-the-clock fund custody, or buy tokens with one click according to the established plan, and truly achieve zero delay transactions. Say goodbye to the redundant front-end user experience and truly enjoy the security of Web3 and the ease of use of Web2. Smart Sessions are more than just an upgrade to the user experience. They fundamentally reshape the way WalletConnect's economy works. Each Smart Session represents a new on-chain interaction workflow. As Smart Sessions is powered by AI Agents in apps, wallets, and custody solutions, its transaction volume is expected to grow exponentially. In the future, WalletConnect will design an economic model that introduces transaction fees. Every AI Agent transaction needs to be empowered by WCT, and the more automated agents trade, the greater the market demand for WCT to achieve true value capture. WCT has performed well since its issuance, and it can be seen that for WalletConnect, the issuance of coins is not an end but a way to expand the ecological territory, and WCT is the core tool to maintain the operation of the economic system. With the support of WCT, WalletConnect is also a big move to focus on AI, and continue to lay the foundation for the development of Web3 in the direction of AI. To quote Pedro, the founder of WalletConnect, in the article: In the future, you don't need to work hard to get on the chain, the chain will serve you. Smart Sessions will be the new cornerstone of an AI-driven, mobile-native, on-chain world. On May 23rd, Pedro will be speaking at @solana Accelerate in New York to announce the big news of the partnership with Solana. I'm looking forward to seeing what kind of chemistry will happen with SOL and WCT.
