WCT jumped 11% following news that Jupiter stakers will be eligible for a token claim tied to WalletConnect’s Solana expansion.
WalletConnect Token (<a href="https://crypto.news/price/walletconnect-token/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">WCT</a>) jumped on Thursday as buzz spread about an upcoming airdrop tied to <a href="https://crypto.news/tag/solana/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Solana</a> (<a href="https://crypto.news/price/solana/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">SOL</a>), and some Jupiter stakers are now on the list. Following the news, the price of WCT rose 11.6% and is trading at $1.06, according to data from CoinGecko. The token has gained 276.8% over the past month, rising from $0.2814 on April 15.
The price rally followed growing anticipation around WCT’s expansion to Solana. At the Solana Accelerate event, WalletConnect Foundation founder Pedro Gomes said the token would go live on the network later this month via Wormhole’s Native Token Transfers standard.

Airdrop details haven’t been finalized yet, but the WalletConnect Foundation <a href="https://walletconnect.network/blog/walletconnect-token-wct-expands-to-solana" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">has confirmed</a> that a 5 million WCT claim will be available for Solana users, with Jupiter, Phantom, Backpack, and Solflare helping identify eligible users and distribute tokens.
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
 “The goal is to identify real users, those already building, staking, and transacting on Solana. […] This follows the success of the 2024 token claim, which saw 50 million WCT distributed to early contributors across the WalletConnect ecosystem, previously in the Optimism and Ethereum ecosystems.”

Despite the announcement, eligibility details and claim timelines are expected to be announced soon. With the launch on Solana, WCT becomes a multichain token after its earlier deployments on Ethereum and Optimism.
