he proposal by pedro-wcf seeks to allocate 50M WCT in 2026 as a dedicated rewards budget for WalletConnect Pay, aiming to boost consumer adoption and wallet integration through cashback-style rewards for users and incentives for wallets driving usage. The rewards, denominated in WCT, mirror traditional payment systems’ use of interchange and cashback to align incentives across users, wallets, merchants, and the ecosystem. The budget is drawn from existing WCT allocations (no new minting), with unused tokens returning to governance. The program prioritizes simplicity, adaptability, and sustainability, with parameters subject to evolution based on performance and feedback. Community response is overwhelmingly positive, with many users praising the strategy’s potential to drive real-world utility, adoption, and token value — piratestalks highlights its alignment with TradFi models and sustainability, while TheOracle, bulletjnr, and UNSynaps echo support for its incentive structure and fiscal responsibility. A few concerns were raised — Arsyah worries about token dilution, and banu cautions against potential cashback farming risks, citing the SocialGood project as a cautionary example. Overall, the proposal is seen as a strategic, practical step toward establishing WalletConnect Pay as a real-world payment rail — with strong community backing and a clear path to pilot activation in 2026.
great ideas, the best is yet to come and i trust in community to make WCT great
It is a great Ideas..
The cashback reward will bring about massive adoption and day to day use if wct
I think this will have a good impact on the future of the project!
I support this proposal.
By combining cashback for users with rewards to wallets, I believe we can achieve perfect incentive alignment across the entire ecosystem. This creates an environment where everyone wins together, fostering the formation of a robust, self-amplifying growth loop.
Brilliant idea, i agree.
This Increases utility
Love to see this fly
To be honest after some time I think its horrible idea for now.
50 M coins will create new selling pressure on token that is already struggling
Creators should put more attention to whats going on with coin, the rewards should be 30 M coins, and 20 M should be burned.
With the burn it would create more noise around coin and could affect the price, so if the price would go up, then the 30 m coins would be worth more than 50 in current economics.
Creators forget that We are in crypto community, so low trust coin = low trust payment method
The real promotion would be getting a deal with big brand that for eg. sells consoles or games.
20 M burn, 20 M cashback, and 10 M for collaboration with big platform or shop offering 10% discount (if using our payments) on selected items or games or whatever, restricted by overall amount or time.
Why would any brand work with us?
10% is discount that users get, but to the comapny we pay 13/15% which creates them addicional earn on shopping. Coins got by company with collaboration should have unlock time to don’t make panic and sell pressure on market
I hope anyone from creator will read this :*
Interesting, loving the idea but does this incentive not cause dilution of token?
I completely agree with this proposal.
great strategy. I totally agree.
How does the WalletConnect team plan to mitigate the risk of Sybil attacks or fictitious transactions so that these 50 million WCTs actually end up in the hands of real consumers, not bots or farmers?
use walletconnect as an international payment tool
Brilliant idea, it will boost adoption and increase utility for $wct.
I agree with the proposal 100%
Will WCT rewards be immediately liquid, and if so, how will short-term sell pressure be mitigated?
I agree with your idea, hopefully this is a good first step for $WCT in the future and will be requested by many people.
Hey Pedro. Could you provide a bit more color on the fee structure when it comes to monetizing wallet connect pay?
- What is the fee per transaction?
- Do those fees all go to the wallet connect treasury to fund development and WCT buybacks?
- Do other stakeholders that provide distribution for wallet connect pay get compensated in WCT or fees?
It’s a good offer, and the support of all ecosystem participants is visible.
This proposal is very good, I totally agree. WCT to the Moon
