Recently, my hesitation caused me to miss out on an Airdrop opportunity worth 1000U. This experience made me deeply realize that in the Web3 world, connecting a Wallet is not just a matter of risk, but more likely a doorway to opportunities.

This event actually reflects a larger trend: the importance of identity verification in the Web3 ecosystem. In this emerging digital world, there is a key infrastructure quietly changing the way we interact with decentralized applications (DApps) — that is WalletConnect.

WalletConnect is like a universal authentication system in the Web3 space. No matter which DApp you use, it ensures that your identity is verified. More importantly, it successfully achieves a seamless connection of your on-chain identity and capabilities without storing your private key. It can be anticipated that in the future, almost all Web3 scenarios will rely on this authentication mechanism.

It is worth noting that the WalletConnect Token (WCT) has significance far beyond the superficial "scanning tool". It actually incentivizes every identity connection action. In this current era where identity is an asset, each connection could be the beginning of a transaction and could be the starting point of value flow.

This experience has taught me that the next time we face a "connect wallet" request, we should reassess our attitude. We may need to realize that what we are rejecting is not just a simple connection, but possibly the beginning of a valuable journey full of opportunities.

In the world of Web3, it is equally important to remain open and vigilant. While as users we need to be cautious about every wallet connection request, we must also recognize that moderate risks can lead to unexpected rewards. This is the charm of the Web3 ecosystem—opportunities coexist with challenges, and innovation goes hand in hand with risks.
