What's the WalletConnect Claim Campaign?
WalletConnect has launched its multi chain WalletConnect Token (WCT) on Solana, allocating 5 million WCT to users active in the Solana ecosystem. To distribute the tokens, the Foundation teamed up with Solana wallets such as Backpack, Solflare, Jupiter, and Phantom.
Backpack is empowering this initiative by opening the claim to its users today. The campaign supports WalletConnect's mission to incentivize real on-chain engagement and drive broader token utility across Web3.
Who's Eligible?
Backpack has split eligibility into two key groups:
- Top-tier badge holders: Users with Challenger, Diamond, or Platinum badges are automatically qualified.
- Other badge holders: Over 500 users from other badge levels (e.g., Gold, Silver, Bronze) will be selected randomly.
Badges are based on trading activity and engagement within Backpack's seasonal point campaigns. Levels range from Bronze all the way to Challenger. Learn more about earning badges and Backpack quests here
How to Claim with Backpack Wallet
- Connect your Backpack Wallet to the claim portal at solana.walletconnect.network.

- If eligible, hit Claim WCT to receive your tokens.
You'll need to authenticate using your Solana-based Backpack Wallet. No extra steps or fees are required.
Why This Matters?
WalletConnect is emerging as a major cross-chain protocol, already supporting billions in transactions and 300+ million connections. With WCT now live on Solana, the project is incentivizing deeper engagement through token claims, staking, governance, and app integrations.
Backpack's participation reflects its growing status in the ecosystem. Past campaigns like Mad Lads points, trading quests, and faucet drops show a clear pattern—engaged users are rewarded sometimes with native tokens.
What to Do Next
- Ensure your badge is reflected correctly in your Backpack account.
- Head to solana.walletconnect.network to verify eligibility.
- Once confirmed, connect, claim, and enjoy your WCT tokens.
- Consider trading your WCT tokens directly on Backpack Exchange for maximum convenience.
Up Next for WCT & Backpack
WalletConnect plans to expand WCT utility across chains through staking, governance, and fresh incentive campaigns.
Backpack, meanwhile, continues to gamify user engagement, keep collecting badges, completing quests, and stacking points for more token drops, trading bonuses, and early access perks. The WCT claim is just the latest reward in its growing reward ecosystem.
For anyone using Backpack and active on Solana, this WalletConnect claim campaign is a welcome addition. Simple to claim, backed by strong partnerships, and built to increase token utility, make sure you check if you're eligible and get your WCT before the campaign ends.
