As the first major step in its new era as Reown, the company rewarded its loyal community with an unprecedented gesture: an airdrop of 185 million of its new token, $WCT .
The event, which took place between late 2024 and January 3, 2025, targeted the pillars of its ecosystem—from the most active users and developers to the wallets and applications that fueled its remarkable 240% growth over the past year.
This massive distribution was not just a giveaway, but a statement of principles for the new Reown network: to put power in the hands of those who build and use it every day.
With this move, Reown not only generated major buzz, but also laid the foundation for the official launch of its token, ensuring a wide and decentralized initial distribution.

In the dynamic world of Web3, where evolution is the only constant, one of the most recognized names in digital wallet infrastructure has embarked on its most ambitious chapter yet. @WalletConnect , the open-source protocol that became the de facto standard for connecting wallets to decentralized applications (dApps), has announced its strategic evolution and rebranding as Reown.

This rebranding, which has taken shape throughout late 2024 and early 2025, is far more than a marketing move. It represents a fundamental shift in the company’s vision: moving from being a communication bridge to becoming a fully decentralized, community-owned network.

For years, WalletConnect solved a crucial problem: allowing millions of users to securely interact with the world of decentralized finance (DeFi), NFTs, and other dApps without exposing their private keys. However, its founders saw the need to go further. Reown’s vision is to build a robust network that not only connects users but also empowers them with greater sovereignty over their digital identity and assets.

"WalletConnect was the beginning, the initial connection. Reown is the future—ownership and control in the hands of the user," said a team representative in a statement explaining the transition.

This strategic transformation is the foundation upon which the company’s other initiatives are built, including the recent launch of its governance token and a massive airdrop to its community. The move to Reown is, in essence, a declaration of intent that gives meaning to all subsequent developments, marking the beginning of a new era focused on full decentralization and the active participation of users in the protocol’s future.

This first step lays the groundwork for a story that promises to redefine interaction in Web3—a story that will continue with the inclusion of its community through direct rewards and the launch of a self-sustaining economy.
