Hello WalletConnect community,
I’d like to open a discussion around a core governance challenge: how to ensure the project continues to grow while maintaining sustainable incentives and a healthy, long-term community.
In many decentralized ecosystems, incentives are necessary to bootstrap participation. However, over time, misaligned or short-term incentives can lead to declining engagement, governance apathy, or unsustainable token emissions. On the other hand, insufficient incentives may reduce contributor motivation and community involvement.
The purpose of this discussion is to explore:
-
How WalletConnect can balance incentives with long-term sustainability
-
What types of incentives best support active, meaningful community participation (not just passive rewards)
-
How governance can help align contributors, token holders, and the protocol’s long-term vision
-
Ideas to maintain community health even as incentives evolve or decrease over time
This is not intended as a proposal, but as an open conversation to gather perspectives, lessons learned, and constructive ideas from the community.
Looking forward to your thoughts and insights. Thank you.
