Zug, Switzerland — September 4, 2025 — Pascal Protocol and WalletConnect today announced a partnership designed to make on-chain derivatives easier and safer for everyday users. Pascal has integrated WalletConnect’s connection and messaging tools across Jetstream and the broader Pascal ecosystem. Both teams will also collaborate on education, growth, and developer enablement.

Why This Matters Now

Stablecoins are surging as U.S. policy clarity improves following progress on the GENIUS Act. Liquidity is moving on-chain, and DeFi users need tools to hedge, express views, and manage risk.

Tokenized cash flows and real-world assets require active risk management and deeper secondary liquidity. Derivatives deliver both.

The path from “stablecoin summer” to a broader DeFi autumn depends on frictionless wallet onboarding and reliable risk clearing.

TGE Spotlight: A Retail-Ready On-Ramp

Pascal’s Token Generation Event (TGE) on September 9 is a milestone for the ecosystem. Standardizing on WalletConnect ensures that new users can:

• Connect a wallet in seconds
• Explore Jetstream and ecosystem apps
• Place their first trade
• Receive clear alerts on fills and margin health

The joint education program will guide newcomers from spot trading to simple hedging strategies, enabling confident participation from day one.

What the Partnership Includes

🔹 Frictionless Wallet Connection

Pascal will use WalletConnect Sign and Web3Modal to let users connect, trade, and return later without losing context. Clear signing prompts and session recovery improve confidence and reduce failed transactions.

🔹 Actionable Notifications

Opt-in alerts for order fills, funding changes, margin health, and settlement. Users receive timely nudges to hedge or rebalance ahead of large trades in thinner RWA spot markets.

🔹 Developer Starter Kit

A plug-and-play kit for teams building on Pascal. It includes wallet connection, SIWE-style authentication, and example flows for futures and options — accelerating launches and ensuring consistent UX.

🔹 Education and Growth

Joint guides, demos, and community campaigns will show:

• How derivatives hedge tokenized assets
• How clearing protects users
• How to graduate from spot to structured strategies

Strategic Impact

• For retail users: first trades become simpler. Connect any major wallet, place a trade, receive alerts, and monitor margin at a glance.
• For Pascal builders: proven wallet stack shortens time to market and lowers UX risk.
• For WalletConnect: the partnership highlights another production-grade derivatives ecosystem using its infrastructure at scale.
