#WCT# OP Mainnet upgrade shockingly released! WCT Gas fee drops by 90%, DeFi enters the era of zero cost.

The WalletConnect Foundation announced today that the underlying network of WCT will fully migrate to the Optimism Mainnet, achieving a 90% reduction in gas fees and a 50-fold increase in cross-chain speed through zk-Rollup technology. This upgrade is not only a technological iteration but also a paradigm revolution in Web3 infrastructure - developers can quickly deploy multi-chain DApps via the WCT SDK, and user transaction costs will drop from 1 dollar to 0.01 dollars!
Technical Architecture Analysis:
• Layer 2 Scaling: Optimism's OP Stack increases the WCT network throughput from 15 TPS to 3000 TPS, supporting over 100,000 concurrent user interactions.
• Economic Model Optimization: In the future, WCT will introduce a "Protocol Revenue Sharing Mechanism," where for every $1 fee generated by DApp developers, 50% will be returned to WCT holders through the staking pool.
• Security Enhancement: Utilizing **end-to-end encryption (E2EE)** and a distributed node network, the risk of transaction data leakage is reduced to below 0.001%, far exceeding the industry average.
Ecological Impact:
After the upgrade, WCT has attracted top DeFi protocols such as Uniswap and Aave for integration. Taking Aave as an example, users can borrow USDC cross-chain through WCT, with transaction fees reduced from 0.3% to 0.03%, and the capital utilization rate increased to 98%. It is expected that by the end of 2025, the WCT ecosystem will cover 80% of DeFi trading volume, becoming the "highway" of the Web3 economy.
