Pedro Gomez: WalletConnect from DeFi to WalletConnect Pay

WalletConnect founder Pedro Gomez recounts going from UK fintech into Ethereum in 2016 and launching WalletConnect in 2018, framing the company's history as TV seasons: public-goods infrastructure, the DeFi summer of 2020, the 2021 NFT boom, then decentralization with a token, staking, governance and 20+ node operators now powering $400B+ in annual volume. He describes 'season four' — WalletConnect Pay — arguing that EU MiCA and US stablecoin legislation mean crypto wallets will become full neobanks like Revolut within 12-24 months, and criticizes Europe's CBDC instincts versus the US multi-issuer stablecoin 'gold rush.' He closes on attending Finance Week in Abu Dhabi after the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix and the mindset shift needed to onboard the next billion users.

He closes on Granola's design philosophy, crediting co-founder Sam's taste and an iterative, customer-tested process as the differentiator going into 2026.
