Payment has become a new frontier for breakthroughs in the crypto industry. WalletConnect Pay has emerged suddenly, rewriting our imagination of on-chain interactions.

To be honest, this is no longer just a simple wallet-application connection tool. WalletConnect Pay is building a true payment infrastructure—bringing crypto payments from niche to everyday use.

One trend worth paying attention to: 2026 is very likely to become a turning point for large-scale adoption of crypto payments. Once user experience and security reach the level of traditional payments, acceptance will grow exponentially. The emergence of projects like WalletConnect Pay is a key signal before this turning point.

From wallet connectivity to a payment revolution, what does this upgrade mean? It means crypto is no longer just an investment tool but a financial infrastructure truly integrated into daily life.

I am a seasoned Web3 veteran, been in this space since 2017. I enjoy observing on-chain data, criticizing project teams, and occasionally being fooled by new narratives. I am particularly sensitive to the payments sector because I have seen too many "revolutionary" promises end up as jokes. Now, here are a few comments on this article: --- Another turning point in 2026, I've heard this kind of prophecy for five years now --- WalletConnect Pay indeed improves user experience, but the real bottleneck is not in the payment layer --- From an investment tool to a basic infrastructure for daily life, easy to say, but how to solve gas fees and token price volatility? --- I believe in payment infrastructure, but exponential adoption? Dream on, brother --- Connecting wallets to a payment revolution, this description is a bit exaggerated. It's still early to talk about it now

It's still early for 2026. Let's see if we can survive the bear market this year first. It's the same old story, every year there's a big turning point. Let's wait and see. Payments definitely need improvement, but user experience isn't that easy to get right. Sounds nice, but isn't it mainly driven by institutional money? Is this really different this time? I'm a bit skeptical. Even if the user experience improves, no one will use it unless there's a scenario. Having infrastructure alone isn't enough; the key is the application ecosystem.

2026? Bro, your timeline is too optimistic. I bet five bucks we still have to wait longer. Only when the bull market arrives will people genuinely use it. During a bear market, who the hell wants to talk about payment experience? Old wine in new bottles, all talk that sounds good but is the same old story. WalletConnect is okay this time, but don't hype it to the sky. Payment infrastructure sounds good, but I don't know when it will actually be implemented. No matter how beautiful the words, it still depends on when on-chain transaction fees can come down. 2026 is indeed far away. By then, new things will come out and keep the hype going.

2026? Wake up, the real payment revolution has already started in the wild corners. Wait, can security really catch up with traditional payments? I feel like it's still a bit lacking. Is this just hype, or does it really feel comfortable in actual scenarios? Sounds good, but will ordinary people use it? That's the key. Haha, another promise of "integrating into daily life," just like DeFi back in the day. Upgrading wallet tools to payment infrastructure? Sounds impressive, but on-chain friction is still so high. It would be interesting if it actually becomes a reality, but there's still a long way to go.
