Common claim failures may occur due to:
- Transaction failure (network issues)
- Insufficient gas (WalletConnect will subsidize gas fees, however, due to variable network conditions, the subsidized amount may not cover the complete gas fee. If you encounter high network congestion, we recommend waiting until network activity decreases)

Im having trouble claiming my tokens
If you're unable to claim your WCT airdrop, you can opt to receive your tokens through direct distribution instead of the standard claim process.
To use this alternative method:
- Connect to your profile using the recipient address.
- Click on the "Change Address" button.
- Accept the terms and conditions.
- Connect an OP mainnet wallet.
Once you choose this option, you won't be able to use the standard claim process, but you can update your provided address until the claim period ends.
The WalletConnect Foundation will send your tokens directly to this address on January 7th.
