When reviewing every bullish market in the history of digital assets, we find that explosive growth was achieved not only by Application Layer projects but also by infrastructure coins that support the entire blockchain system.

In 2019, LINK emerged in the field of securities, successfully creating a data bridge between the blockchain and the real world by enabling the blockchain to access external data in real-time, ultimately leading to remarkable growth in value.
In 2021, as the congestion problem of the Ethereum network worsened, Layer 2 scaling solutions saw an explosion, with Arbitrum's ARB token becoming a prominent project by providing an effective solution to the bottleneck in Ethereum's performance, attracting a large number of developers, and the ecosystem flourished rapidly, reaching a market value at one point within the top ten.
As we approach the year 2025, which will be the next hundredth currency to emerge from the underlying technology? I believe that WCT is worth keeping an eye on.
WalletConnect is considered the infrastructure for communication in the blockchain world, building a comprehensive network for connecting to digital assets. The complexity of on-chain communications far exceeds the peer-to-peer model we envision, as it requires addressing interoperability challenges across wallets, applications, and networks.
After five years of development, WalletConnect has deployed its protocol in almost all major wallets and decentralized applications. Now, it enhances the monetization strategy for connection services, including the Relay network fee mechanism, contract storage system, and the launch of relay messaging infrastructure.
If LINK represents the infrastructure data layer, and ARB represents the infrastructure performance layer, then WCT represents the infrastructure communication layer. In the complete blockchain ecosystem, these three layers are indispensable.
Currently, the market value of WCT is around 200 million dollars, which seems to be greatly underestimated compared to its potential value in the blockchain ecosystem. Once mainstream investment funds realize its strategic position and growth potential, a hundredfold increase may just be a starting point.
With the proliferation of blockchain applications and the increasing need for interoperability, projects like WCT that solve fundamental connectivity issues may emerge in the next round of the bullish market, warranting close attention to their developments and ecosystem building.
