## Abstract

Establishing Milestones for WCT Transferability

## Summary

This proposal seeks community consensus on the milestones required to activate transferability for WalletConnect Token (WCT). Following the successful Token Generating Event (TGE) on November 26 last year and subsequent token allocations as per the whitepaper, we propose a set of clear criteria to indicate the ecosystem’s readiness before enabling on-chain transferability of WCT.

## Background

November 26, 2024, was the successful TGE for WCT, which is currently non-transferable for all token holders. Additionally, we completed the Season 1 Airdrop, distributing tokens to community members, including both end-users and contributors. While progress has been made, establishing transparent milestones for transferability is critical to maintaining trust and alignment with the community’s goals.

## Proposal

To enable WCT transferability, we propose achieving at least the following milestones:

1. Certifying at least 16 Wallets as part of the WalletConnect Certified program.
2. Achieving at least 100M WCT tokens on the staking pool.
3. Onboarding at least 16 Node Operators to the WalletConnect Network.
4. Staking has been live for at least 12 weeks on Mainnet since TGE.
5. Open-sourcing WCN source code for at least Service Nodes.

As of today, some of these milestones have been achieved. However, we believe aligning the community around these criteria shows a transparent and decentralized governance process before transferability is enabled.

## Call to Action

We invite all stakeholders to participate in this governance vote and share their input on the proposed milestones. Your voice is critical to shaping the future of the WalletConnect ecosystem.

## Next Steps

This proposal will initiate a governance vote to confirm these milestones as criteria for transferability. If the proposal is approved, we will communicate progress updates and submit a subsequent proposal to enable transferability on-chain once all milestones are met.

No one will want to stake for 0,2 wct rewards per week. People are disappointed with that.

some milestones here, feels far fetched. 50m wct was allocated for season 1, 30m was airdropped, 20m to be sold on coinlist. how would 100m staked wct be achieved

The 100M staked milestones is far fetched, like a sailors dream, your team would be delusional to hope so, airdropped amount is not even up to 50M and sold token is 20M. Half of these numbers will hardly stake cos of the ridiculous returns on your staking. If you don’t wanna enable transferability better you keep your token to yourself, on this note I don’t think I would encourage anyone to buy a token that’s delusional about unlocking transferability

100m staked is really a stretch, the math doesn’t seem viable at this point in time. dune says we’re over 50m staked and that seems like a reasonable place to pin it.

Not really Actually the staking contract only have 21M WTC in the contract, meaning only 21million is staked so far. My suggestion is the staking criteria should be removed, it seems the team is afraid of market dumping, if they can be afraid of something so little, how can they grow ?

I think transfers between wallets are limited to large amounts. many duplicate accounts are not detected by Sybil on various airdrop finder forums.

Maybe 100M can be achieved, if the staking reward is increased

</div>

To clarify how 100M WCT staking is feasible:

- 50M: Season 1 airdrop
- 185M: Early team (locked but stakeable)
- 115M: Early backers (locked but stakeable)

Ongoing distributions through:

- Wallet partnerships
- Community quests
- Strategic initiatives

While locked tokens cannot be transferred, they can be staked. With at least 350M total tokens allocated and the ability to stake locked tokens, reaching 100M staked WCT is achievable through participation from team members, early backers, and community holders.

Additionally, the ongoing community distributions provide more opportunities for token holders who can contribute to the staking total.

True, but doesn’t apply for the average hodler. Sadly, the average person is very far from the average hodler.
