D'CENT wallet selects 'WalletConnect' as the 9th Tap That Drop partner

IoTrust, the operator of the hardware wallet brand D'CENT, announced on the 18th that it has selected WalletConnect as the ninth partner of 'Tap That Drop'.

Tap That Drop is an interactive campaign that provides various quests and rewards to D'CENT app users through collaboration with Web3 projects, and each episode is conducted with a different partner project.

WalletConnect is a connectivity layer for the internet and a representative Web3 access gateway used by more than 50 million wallets. Through this collaboration, D'CENT users can experience the latest WalletConnect ecosystem and opportunities to participate in the native WCT token-based ecosystem within the wallet.

WalletConnect is an open-source protocol that provides secure connections between wallets and dApps via QR codes and deep links. It enables transaction signing and authentication without exposing private keys externally, and supports smooth interoperability in multi-chain environments. Recently, it introduced a wallet guide and certification program to officially certify wallets that meet security and user experience standards, and the cumulative number of connections through the network has surpassed 330 million, establishing it as a representative infrastructure for Web3 entry.

In particular, WalletConnect has recently introduced the 'Pay with WalletConnect' feature, expanding its influence into payment services. This service allows users to easily use digital assets as a payment method in online invoices or checkout processes, and supports payments on the Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), and Bitcoin (BTC) networks through payment partners such as CoinGate. Through this, it is evolving beyond a simple connection protocol into a Web3 payment infrastructure focused on real-world use.

WalletConnect is also rapidly growing in terms of network size and partnerships. Currently, more than 47 million unique wallets and more than 66,000 apps are integrated based on WalletConnect.

In this ninth Tap That Drop campaign, WalletConnect's WCT token will be offered as a reward, and participants can directly experience WCT token staking within the D'CENT app. It is significant in that it provides the experience of actually depositing tokens and participating in the ecosystem, beyond simply receiving tokens.
