WalletConnect is offering a one-time integration incentive in $WCT for wallets that integrate their Pay SDK before June 30.
Supported networks at launch:
- Ethereum
- Base
- Optimism
- Arbitrum
- Polygon
- Solana (coming soon)
The SDK enables wallets to connect to a global network of payment service providers and merchants, allowing users to spend crypto and stablecoins directly without offramping. Wallets earn interchange-like revenue on transactions while users receive 2% $WCT cashback on payments.
Merchants and PSPs prefer WalletConnect Pay to crypto cards. And that's because of one simple reason. @maxwallenberg who leads stablecoin strategy @moonpay gives us his take on the Payments Pulse.
2. Merchants can accept crypto without managing wallet infrastructure, while users benefit from secure and familiar checkout experiences.
1. Shopify enables crypto payments through a partner-led model: Payment providers like Stripe and BitPay handle transaction logic. WalletConnect powers wallet connection and value transfer.
WALLETS: The WalletConnect Pay SDK lets your users pay with the crypto and stablecoins they already hold while earning 2% $WCT cashback every time they pay. Meanwhile, you earn interchange revenue on every transaction. Here's how it works. ↓

WalletConnect Pay SDK is live worldwide, and you can now make payments on @arbitrum.
Merchants struggle to accept crypto (leaving millions on the table) because of 3 things. WalletConnect Pay solves all 3 with 1 integration. ↓
1. Wallet-based payments for PSPs Mesh relies on WalletConnect to integrate self-custody wallets into payment service provider (PSP) flows. WalletConnect ensures secure authentication, smooth value transfer, and broad wallet compatibility.
2. Travel Rule compliance When users send assets outside the exchange, WalletConnect powers the wallet interaction layer while Coinbase manages confirmations and compliance prompts.
2. One integration, hundreds of wallets. Instead of integrating wallets individually, BitPay integrates WalletConnect once. This gives merchants instant access to hundreds of wallets globally, dramatically expanding reach without increasing technical overhead.
