Long time no see, Wct has started making payments @ WalletConnect Its current network size is already quite exaggerated: an annualized network volume of $400B+, 50M+users, 70K+applications, and 700+wallets. In traditional payments, this can already benchmark the scale of Shopify/Square. More importantly, stablecoins are not only running online, but have also begun to enter offline POS through cooperation with DTCPay, allowing stablecoins to be directly deposited in physical stores. The core highlight is WalletConnect Pay. It aims to make stablecoin payments as smooth as swiping a card: one confirmation, wallet self selection of coins and chains, QR/NFC payment, Express compression steps, wallet side KYC, x402, and merchant fraud insurance have all been added. Merchants save costs, wallets can offer rebates, points and other gameplay. As the payment scale increases, a key logic begins to emerge: The more payments grow, the more the network needs security, governance, and reliability. This is exactly the utility scenario of WCT - staking, verifying, and enhancing network credibility. The larger the payment ecosystem, the more important its role becomes.
