In the early days of Crypto, portfolios were the gateway to freedom. Nowadays they often feel like an obstacle: endless pop -ups, constant transaction tool and fragmented experiences. Every action requires user input. Every transaction threatens to become a bottleneck.
The explosion of Onchain applications has stretched this friction to the breaking point. If we are serious about scaling up blockchain acceptance outside the crypto-native crowd-to-have institutions, companies and billions of retail users, we need a fundamental shift.
At WalletConnect we believe that Shift is here. It is called Smart sessionsA new standard designed for the AI-driven future of the internet. With the rise of intelligent agents, smart sessions are ready to ignite the next growth phase for our network and ecosystem.
Fewer portfolios. More ai.
Smart sessions define the onchain experience again. Instead of endless wallet pop -ups, users make a connection once, set the rules and delegate permission to an app or, increasingly, on a AI -agent To handle them on their behalf within safe, pre -defined guardrails.
In practice this means:
- Automated trade strategies (such as DCA, arbitration bots)
- Completely autonomous Onchain -Games
- Subscription payments That works as a line, but Onchain
- AI agents Managing assets and strategies in real time
Imagine that you replace “app → wallet → blockchain” with “app → ai → wallet → blockchain.”
Agents become first -class burgers in this model. They work within parameters that you define, whereby the protection of crypto is combined with the usability of Web2.
Smart sessions lay the foundation for a seamless, intelligent onchain world.
A new layer of protocol help program: $ WCT
Smart sessions are not just a UX upgrade. They fundamentally reform the economic dynamics of WalletConnect.
Every smart session represents a new stream of Onchain activity. As sessions spread, powered by AI agents in apps, portfolios and storage solutions, The transaction volume is expected to grow exponentially.
Looking ahead, we propose a model true transaction costs is introduced, making a new income layer for the network.
It is important that these future costs are designed to be paid with $ WCT, the native token of WalletConnect.
This would bring a new dimension to the $ WCT utility. It is not just a governance token; It will be a critical infrastructure, in which the real economic value is recorded as smart sessions in the network.
The more autonomous agents transact, the greater the expected demand for $ WCT.
Settings are already building
WalletConnect is not only consumer -oriented. We feed the experiences that guardianship portfolios deliver to institutions worldwide.
Smart sessions will transform these environments and upgrade the fundamental custody of today Onchain-Native AI investment agents.
Settings are looking for:
- Better security (Delegated permissions reduce the most important risk)
- Higher automation (24/7 version of Onchain)
- Lower friction (Eliminate endless human approvals)
With smart sessions, custodial portfolios can offer a future-proof solution: secured, automated and built for the era of AI-driven crypto investments.
Mobile unlocks new growth
Recent changes to Apple’s App Store policy mark a turning point for mobile crypto -acceptance. For the first time, apps and portfolios will have more freedom to guide users to decentralized payment options, external portfolios and onchain transactions.
WalletConnect pioneered in the original standard that has been switched on Safe connections between mobile apps and portfolios. Now, with legal and platform barriers, relax, Mobile-first crypto experiences Can finally scal their full potential.
Smart sessions – or what we are increasingly seeing as Permission sessions – will be crucial in this mobile world, making seamless, trusted interactions between users, apps and autonomous agents possible.
As mobile access is expanding, WalletConnect is uniquely positioned to provide the next generation of decentralized, AI-driven applications with electricity users.
De Toekomst: an Onchain -Internet, powered by sessions
We are at the start of a profound shift:
- User Will expect portfolios that simply “work” in the background.
- Apps Integrates standard AI agents.
- Sessions Replaces manual transactions such as the dominant mode of Onchain interaction.
- $ WCT will be central to this new transaction economy.
Smart sessions are not just a function. They are a new primitive for an AI-driven, mobile, onchain world.
This is a future in which you don’t work to be onchain. Onchain works for you.
Enabled by portfolios.
Empowered by AI.
