Main Content

The WalletConnect Foundation announced a Solana-based airdrop during the Solana Accelerate event in May 2025. Under Pedro Gomes, key plans involved cross-chain expansions and token distributions. This airdrop promised rewards to real Solana network participants.

“The goal is to identify real users, those already building, staking, and transacting on Solana. […] This follows the success of the 2024 token claim, which saw 50 million WCT distributed to early contributors across the WalletConnect ecosystem, previously in the Optimism and Ethereum ecosystems.”

WCT experienced a significant price increase from the airdrop anticipation, shooting from $0.35 to over $1.30. Significant trading volumes accompanied this surge, driven by interest in Solana ecosystem assets.

The announcement affected market dynamics significantly. Immediate reactions saw WCT’s price climb before a 46% correction due to profit-taking. Solana projects like Jupiter and Phantom noted increased activity.

Financial and market implications include increased volatility and trading activity. WalletConnect protocols reported extensive adoption metrics, hinting at broad user engagement. This volatility shaped short-term trading strategies.

Historical Trends

Historical trends suggest airdrops often spark similar market movements. Insights from 2024’s airdrop showcase potential long-term value for participants. Speculative trading activity around WCT signals ongoing altcoin interest during this period.
