2025 was the year the WalletConnect went from being infrastructure in the background to setting the foundations for how we build the future of crypto payments.
We saw more people using WalletConnect than ever before. In just twelve months, total connections grew from 179 million to 392 million, a 119% leap year over year. If you zoom out to 2023, when connections were just 41 million, it’s an 856% increase in under two years. That kind of growth doesn’t just reflect volume. It reflects trust.
Altogether, more than 55.5 million unique users connected through the network in 2025, with 85.5K applications that have WalletConnect as core infrastructure. WalletConnect facilitated over $400 billion in onchain activity, with daily volume now averaging $1.25 billion. WalletConnect has become the invisible layer powering apps, wallets, and experiences across the entire onchain economy.
This year was also about making that layer more usable, especially for developers. WalletConnect SDKs matured fast in 2025, helping teams go from integration to live product in less time, with fewer tradeoffs. We cut average onboarding time, rolled out new payment tools, and it’s already solving a major conversion gap across checkouts.
The WalletConnect Token (WCT) saw its own wave of adoption. Today, it’s available on over 50+ exchanges globally. At its peak, more than 122 million WCT staked, with over 55,000 active stakers participating in governance, earning rewards, and helping steer the network forward.
WalletConnect also facilitated significant stablecoin activity. In Q4, more than 93.3 billion USD equivalent in stablecoin value moved through the WalletConnect network.
Beyond the numbers, this was a year of momentum. We supported major launches, supported more chains than ever before, hackathons, and milestones from Money2020 to DevConnect to 2 WalletCons, and numerous community-led events. Our research, especially the State of Onchain UX & The State of Onchain Payments, helped shape industry conversations around what usable crypto should look like. And we powered everything from payments and DeFi to chains, staking, and DAOs.
WalletConnect now spans more than 700 wallets+, 85,000+ apps, and over 55 million users. The infrastructure is ready. The adoption is here. The next step is making crypto payments work for everyone.
Looking ahead, the next chapter is all about payments. WalletConnect is already powering how users, institutions & enterprises connect and transact across the onchain economy, but in 2026, it will power how they pay. With the reach of our network, the trust we’ve earned, and the infrastructure already in place, we’re positioned to become the go-to payment layer for crypto. Whether it’s online via embedded checkout flows, in person with POS devices, or sitting within a PSP stack, WalletConnect will be the rails behind a new generation of easy, secure, and truly usable crypto payments.
WalletConnect is everywhere onchain, time to bring it to your checkout.
