| N/a |
DAO structure
- (a) IP ownership & control — State what IP the DAO owns or controls (e.g., codebases/repos, trademarks/brands). Note any license if relevant.
- (b) Contract/admin powers — List on-chain or administrative authorities and limits: pause/upgrade roles (e.g., multisig pause), governance-executor authorities, and the method of authority for each (e.g., veto, majority, super-majority).
- (c) Locked-token rights (conditional) — If locking/staking for additional rights exists, explain the additional rights and what tokenholders can and cannot decide. If no locking mechanism exists, leave absent.
- (d) Current tokenholder governance rights and economic arrangements — If any, describe the current governance rights of tokenholders and any presently operative rights or arrangements relating to treasury actions, fee-routing, rewards, buybacks, or other protocol-controlled resources. If none, state that explicitly.
- (e) Control surface reliance — if any, briefly describe the anticipated or possible evolution of the protocol’s governance/control model
- (f) Dissolution authority — State who can dissolve/wind up the DAO and by what mechanism (e.g., on-chain vote threshold, board resolution of a legal wrapper).
The WalletConnect Foundation has established several mechanisms for input, contributions, and guidance from various parties, including a WalletConnect Council. However, a DAO has not been officially established.
(a) IP ownership & control
N/a
(b) Contract/admin powers
The WalletConnect Network multisigs are controlled by a range of participants across and outside of the WalletConnect Foundation and Reown, Inc. who enact the views of the community. Governance proposals by the community are voted via Snapshot (https://snapshot.box/#/s:walletconnect.eth) using a simple-majority mechanism with no specified minimum quorum. WCN smart contracts are deployed on OP mainnet and provide the tokenomic mechanisms to coordinate the network of members, partners and nodes. Upgrades to these smart contracts require a 5-of-7 Admin multisig and a separate 2-of-5 Pauser multisig for pausing contracts in case of an incident. A separate 5-of-7 Emergency multisig exists for recovery if the smart contracts were paused Pauser is not time-locked so its effect is immediate to incidents, but both Admin and Emergency multisigs are timelocked by 7 days.
(c) Locked-token rights
WCT allocated to insiders (early backers, early team), even while subject to lock-up, vesting or other transfer restrictions, are eligible to accrue staking rewards from the WalletConnect Network; accrued staking rewards are not subject to lock-up or vesting. Insiders who stake locked tokens may also participate in Network governance via Snapshot. As with all tokenholders, Snapshot governance is dictated by the stakeweight of participants Stakeweight is calculated by both the duration of the unlock period and the amount of tokens staked
(d) Current tokenholder governance rights and economic arrangements
WCT holders shape the Network through governance — voting on key proposals, network upgrades, and community initiatives via Snapshot. Any proposal relating to fees and/or value-accrual mechanisms are proposed for a community vote. Past proposals: P1 – UX Council Governance Proposal (Passed); P2 – WCT Transferability Criteria Proposal (Passed). Network fees are not yet enabled; if implemented (subject to a community vote) they would likely be denominated in WCT and flow into the rewards pool, distributed among token-holding participants (wallet partners, node operators, individual stakers). Governance documentation: https://docs.walletconnect.network/governance.
(e) Control surface reliance
The governance model is designed to encourage contributions from a variety of stakeholders: the WalletConnect Foundation initially stewards the network but solicits input from community-elected councils, such as the WalletConnect Council formed July 2025, tokenholders and node operators.
(f) Dissolution authority
Since a DAO has not been formally established, there is no dissolution authority.
Primary Foundation
- (a) Entity — type and jurisdiction.
- (b) IP ownership & control — what IP the entity owns/controls (repos/code, trademarks/brand; license optional) and an explanation of any subsidiary entities.
- (c) Powers over DAO, treasury, protocol-controlled resources, and token administration — If any, describe the current powers over DAO governance, treasury actions, protocol-controlled resources (e.g. revenue), token administration, or reward parameters, and the method/threshold for each.
- (d) Powers over DevCo — explain whether the foundation can exert direct or indirect influence over decision-making of the DevCo.
- (e) Contract/admin powers — pause/upgrade/governance-executor authorities and the method/threshold for each (e.g., veto/majority/super-majority; “3/5 multisig”).
- (f) Current economic arrangements and distribution policies — Describe any current governance-approved, contractual, or programmatic mechanisms, if any, by which protocol-controlled resources, treasury assets, fees, revenue, rewards, or token distributions may be directed to this entity, its equityholders, contributors, or other participants. If no such mechanism currently exists, state that explicitly. Do not discuss hypothetical future dividends, repurchases, or distributions unless formally adopted. Definitions: The primary Foundation and DevCo can be explained as those entities which are directly/indirectly involved in the issuance of the native token at launch. If the original foundation/DevCo has been dissolved and in its place a “new foundation/DevCo” was created, then detail the “new foundation/DevCo”.
(a) Entity
WalletConnect Foundation — a Cayman Islands foundation company that acts as the Network’s steward. The Foundation has zero shareholders, beneficiaries, members and owners.
(b) IP ownership & control
/ subsidiaries: WalletConnect Foundation holds an 100-year license to use, reproduce and distribute WalletConnect trademarks, brand assets and logos, the WalletConnect Networksource code as published at https://github.com/WalletConnectFoundation/irn and theWalletConnect Wallet Guide as described at https://walletguide.walletconnect.network/.
(c) Powers over DAO, treasury, resources, token administration
The Foundation provides guidance in effecting the results of the community’s governance. The Foundation does not have exclusive control over any DAO, network treasury, resources or token administration.
(d) Powers over DevCo
The Foundation provides milestone-based funding to Reown, Inc. to support ongoing development efforts.
(e) Contract/admin powers
Certain directors of the Foundation are among the multi-sig signers for Network multisigs, however these individuals do not control a majority of the signers. The individuals also sign the multi-sig in their individual capacity and not as a director of the Foundation. Please see 3.(b) for more information regarding the Network Multisigs.
(f) Current economic arrangements and distribution policies
Network fees are not yet enabled. No value-accrual mechanisms from the Network are expected to directly benefit the Foundation or Reown, Inc. equity holders (e.g., via dividends or revenue sharing). Presently, any Network fees are expected to flow to the Network rewards pool for distribution among token-holding participants. Such a change would be subject to a community proposal and governance vote.
Primary DevCo
- (a) Entity — type and jurisdiction.
- (b) IP ownership & control — what IP the entity owns/controls (repos/code, trademarks/brand; license optional) and an explanation of any subsidiary entities.
- (c) Powers over DAO, treasury, protocol-controlled resources, and token administration — If any, describe the current powers over DAO governance, treasury actions, protocol-controlled resources (e.g. revenue), token administration, or reward parameters, and the method/threshold for each.
- (d) Powers over Foundation — explain whether the DevCo can exert direct or indirect influence over decision-making of the Foundation.
- (e) Contract/admin powers — pause/upgrade/governance-executor authorities and the method/threshold for each (e.g., veto/majority/super-majority; “3/5 multisig”).
- (f) Current economic arrangements and distribution policies — Describe any current governance-approved, contractual, or programmatic mechanisms, if any, by which protocol-controlled resources, treasury assets, fees, revenue, rewards, or token distributions may be directed to this entity, its equityholders, contributors, or other participants. If no such mechanism currently exists, state that explicitly. Do not discuss hypothetical future dividends, repurchases, or distributions unless formally adopted. Definitions: The primary Foundation and DevCo can be explained as those entities which are directly/indirectly involved in the issuance of the native token at launch. If the original foundation/DevCo has been dissolved and in its place a “new foundation/DevCo” was created, then detail the “new foundation/DevCo”.
(a) Entity
Reown, Inc. (d/b/a WalletConnect) — a Delaware corporation with equity owners; the original developer of WalletConnect and a core contributor to the Network. Reown has a fully owned subsidiary, WalletConnect Ireland Ltd., an Ireland limited company.
(b) IP ownership & control
/ subsidiaries: Reown, Inc. develops key software and infrastructure for the WalletConnect Network. Reown owns WalletConnect trademarks, and code repos published on GitHub thatenable connection to the WalletConnect Network. https://github.com/walletconnecthttps://github.com/reown-com
(c) Powers over DAO, treasury, resources, token administration
Reown received an initial allocation of 70,000,000 WCT and makes post-TGE token-based compensation to its own team members from that allocation; it receives milestone-based funding from the Foundation. Reown controls its own corporate treasury. Reown does not control the Network treasury or Network token administration. As noted, no DAO has been established.
(d) Powers over Foundation
Reown does not control the WalletConnect Foundation.
(e) Contract/admin powers
Certain Reown personnel are among the signers on the Network multisigs (which include participants from several organisations). These individuals execute their signatures, or refrain from signing, in their individual capacities and not on behalf of Reown.
(f) Current economic arrangements and distribution policies
No value-accrual mechanisms from the Network are expected to directly benefit Reown, Inc. equity holders via dividends or revenue sharing. Reown receives milestone-based funding from the Foundation and manages its WCT treasury allocation (used in part for Reown team compensation).
Affiliated contributors
- (a) Identity & role — Legal name, entity type, jurisdiction, and role (e.g., core development, security, infrastructure, market making, operations).
- (b) Parameter control & scope — If any, what major protocol parameters the APC controls; include the method of authority (e.g., veto, majority, super-majority, “3/5 multisig”). If none, say so.
- (c) Contract/admin powers — If any, provide the pause/upgrade powers (e.g., multisig pause), governance-executor authorities and limitations; include the method/threshold for each. If none, say so.
- (d) Compensation and material economic arrangements — If any, protocol-generated resources or economic value is dynamically routed to the APC, describe the arrangement. Include the resource sources, routing mechanism, payment
- frequency, and duration. If no protocol resources or resources-linked economics are routed to the APC, state that explicitly.
Protocol Contributor
There are no APCs that have control or authority over the Network.
Token Allocation
Initial allocation
- (a) Launch supply totals — the total number of tokens issued at launch, the total number of tokens locked at launch or the total number of tokens unlocked at launch;
- (b) Recipient categories & use of funds — the recipient categories with brief explanations as to how the category will use the tokens so an auditor can distinguish each bucket;
- (c) Initial price per token (if applicable) — the initial price per token at TGE.. If the token launched via a liquidity bootstrapping mechanism, auction, or other price-discovery process rather than a fixed offering price, describe that mechanism and the final market set price instead. If no fixed price was set, state so.
- (d) Ticker / market symbol — the ticker/market symbol;
- (e) Total supply & supply regime — the total supply and whether the supply is fixed (if not explain inflation rate or deflation rate);
- (f) Initial vesting / release schedules — the initial vesting/release schedules (identify which categories/recipients are subject to vesting and the high-level timing logic);
(a) Launch supply totals
1,000,000,000 WCT were minted on the TGE date. Initial circulating supply was 186.2m WCT; the remainder (≈ 813.8m WCT) are released into circulation over time. For more information regarding the projected unlock or release schedules for the non-circulating supply, please see CoinMarketCap (https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/walletconnect-token/#token_unlocks).
(b) Recipient categories & use of funds
Of the 1 billion WCT TGE supply: WalletConnect Foundation 27% earmarked for grants, marketing and operations; Ecosystem Airdrops 18.5% earmarked for community initiatives, incentives and education campaigns; Early Team 18.5% allocated to these individuals according to unlock schedules; Flexible Rewards 17.5% earmarked for network incentives that are periodically distributed to token stakers and node operators; Early Backers 11.5% allocated to early financial contributors to the Network according to unlock schedules; Core development 7% earmarked to support Reown as a core contributor to the Network.
(c) Initial price per token
(at TGE): Initial price discovery was set organically by the market after listing on centralized exchanges.
(d) Ticker / market symbol
WCT (WalletConnect Token).
(e) Total supply & supply regime
Total supply is 1,000,000,000 WCT, currently capped. The cap may be increased only by a community vote; WalletConnect Foundation and Reown, Inc. are not aware of any plan or intention to increase the 1bn supply.
(f) Initial vesting / release schedules
WCT received via token warrant (investors of Reown, Inc.): 4-year lock-up with a 1-year cliff beginning from 26 November 2024. WCT allocated to core team members at TGE: unlock schedules with a 1-year cliff beginning from the respective team member’s start date with Reown. Custodial services enforce insider lock-up/vesting schedules.
Insider vesting
- A) Post-TGE employee lock as % of total supply. State the current total amount of tokens locked or unvested attributable to post-TGE employees, expressed as a percentage of total supply.
- B) Typical post-TGE vesting schedule. Describe the standard vesting terms used for post-TGE grants, including: cliff length (or “no cliff”), vesting frequency (e.g., monthly/quarterly), and total duration.
(a) Post-TGE employee lock as % of total supply
Up to 3% of the total supply of WCT is earmarked for future (post-TGE) team members, funded out of the existing WalletConnect Foundation and Reown, Inc. allocations.
(b) Typical post-TGE vesting schedule
Post-TGE team members of Reown are eligible for annual token bonuses based on position and overall compensation package. Receipt of each bonus is conditioned on the team member reaching a tenure milestone (typically a calendar year). The bonus program expects to be in effect each year. Tokens received after completing a tenure milestone are not subject to any continued vesting or lock-up. The WCT used for these bonuses are sourced from Reown’s initial allocation from TGE.
Token advisory billings
- (a) Whether any such token-based payments or advisory commitments exist (or explicitly state that no token-based compensation for advisory commitments exist).
- (b) The total token allocation across all advisory services
- (c) The payer entity (e.g., Foundation, Labs/DevCo, DAO/treasury).
- (d) A brief description of the advisory/services (e.g., “legal and regulatory advisory,” “growth and BD support,” “security advisory”).
(a) Existence
Aside from team members known and engaged directly by the WalletConnect Foundation, there are no additional advisory agreements between Reown, Inc. team members and the Foundation, and Reown, Inc. team members do not receive compensation from the Foundation. On that basis, no separate token-based advisory billings to external advisors are disclosed. Currently neither the Foundation nor Reown has any of these advisory. WCT is pay certain invoices or grants but not any existing advisory services.
(b) Total token allocation across advisory services
N/a
(c) Payer entity
N/a
(d) Description of services
N/a
KOL marketing activities
- (a) Existence & scope: State plainly whether KOLs receive tokens for payment, if none say so.
- (b) Usernames & roles: List usernames/handles (with platforms) for KOLs that received token-based compensation and describe the nature of their activities. Legal names are not required.
- (c) Token allocation & vesting/locks: Provide the aggregate token amount across all such arrangements and summarize vesting, lock, or release terms.
Score: Partially Complete
WalletConnect Foundation works with a group of content creators referred to as the WalletConnect Creators Cabal. The objectives of the group are to build curated group of technical and lifestyle creators who can create and publish content about WalletConnect; guide consistent, high-quality content output across regions; and focus on authentic content collaboration, not transactional ambassador-style programs. Membership in the cabal is adjusted overtime meaning that the involved individuals may change over time. Accordingly there is no set list of usernames or roles. Token allocations to the members of the cabal ranges from 1,000-10,000 in WCT per month depending the level of productive engagement with their content. These allocations are not subject to vesting or unlock schedules. Since January 2026, a total of 305,300 has been allocated to cabal members (as of 17 June 2026).
Unissued & operational wallets
- (a) A category label explaining the wallet’s primary function.
- (b) chain the wallet is on.
- (c) The unique address of the wallet.
- (d) The mechanism of control (e.g., DAO, multisig).
- (e) One verification link to a blockchain explorer. Definition: Unissued Supply = tokens authorized by the contract but not yet issued to any party; where they sit (treasury or mint authority) does not change that they are unissued. For instance: if a token has a total supply cap of 1B, and 400M tokens have been issued to investors, the team, and users (whether vested or unlocked), then those 400M count as issued supply. The remaining 600M are authorized but unissued supply, even if they are already minted into a DAO treasury wallet.

- (d) Name of agreement structure — label the financial vehicle being used in the agreement (i.e. loan, option/call, retainer model) without describing trading strategy or expected outcomes. If the project has no agreements or deals with market makers, state that explicitly; doing so earns full credit. If no native tokens were loaned or allocated to market makers, state that explicitly; cash/fiat retainers or fees are not required for this item.
WalletConnect has token-loan agreements with four active market makers providing liquidity across centralized exchanges and AMM/DEX pools. All arrangements are native-token loans; no cash/fiat retainer model is used. Aggregate exposure was previously disclosed as 25M WCT (2.5% supply); following a market-maker restructuring it is now ~26.5M WCT (~2.65% supply).

- (b) Material sources of funding or economic inflows — For each existing entity, describe its primary sources of operational funding or economic inflows, if any (e.g., service fees, grants, donations, treasury reserves, token reserves, staking rewards, validator/sequencer income, partnership payments, retained revenue, or other protocol-related receipts). If none, state “none.”
- (c) Operational use of resources — Briefly describe how those resources are generally used (e.g., development, operations, security, ecosystem support, grants, liquidity support).
- (d) Onchain Resource Usage — Provide links to public dashboards and token holder relations reports that help explain on-chain financial activity, treasury activity, fee flows, rewards, or other protocol-controlled resources. Make certain to explain what each link is for.
(a) Entity
existence: Foundation — the WalletConnect Foundation exists. Lab/DevCo — Reown, Inc. (formerly WalletConnect, Inc.) exists. A DAO is not formally organized.
(b) Material sources of funding / inflows
Network fees are not yet enabled, so the Network currently generates no fee revenue. Node operators and wallet partners receive WCT rewards disbursed from the dedicated ‘rewards’ token allocation and paid out by WalletConnect Limited (it is intended that, over time, rewards will be funded by Network fees). Reown, Inc. is funded via milestone-based funding from the Foundation. The Foundation holds assets across on-chain and off-chain venues (including traditional banks and custodians) and token reserves.
(c) Operational use of resources
Resources fund ongoing software/infrastructure development (Reown), rewards to node operators / wallet partners / stakers, and broader ecosystem support and operations.
(d) Onchain resource usage
/ links: CoinMarketCap token-unlocks page (circulating-supply and unlock tracking): https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/walletconnect-token/#token_unlocks; WCT Dune dashboard (on-chain insights, airdrop claims): https://dune.com/walletconnect/wct; WalletConnect blog / forum (monthly KPI and ecosystem updates): https://walletconnect.network/blog; on-chain treasury addresses are listed in Section 11. Reporting cadence: the Foundation currently publishes monthly updates via its public forum and maintains monthly token/circulating-supply updates with CoinMarketCap and major exchanges; commencing no later than Q1 2026 it plans to issue quarterly updates on its financials and activities via a public forum.
Previous exploits
- (a) Date & component affected — date (YYYY-MM or YYYY-MM-DD), chain(s)/component affected;
- (b) Exploit vector summary — plain-language summary of the exploit vector (what the hack was);
- (c) Quantified impact — quantified impact (assets/tokens affected or a clear “no loss of funds” statement);
- (d) Remediation/response taken — remediation/response taken (patches, upgrades, governance actions, compensation);
