Although WalletConnect uses QR codes or URL links to establish a connection between the wallet and the dApp, there is still a risk of fraud or phishing attacks. If a user scans the wrong QR code or clicks on the wrong link, they may connect to a fake dApp, resulting in loss of assets.
Some dApps may require access to the user's wallet, and some untrustworthy dApps may trick users into signing unwanted transactions. This may result in the loss of funds or assets.
The browsers or devices that users use to connect to WalletConnect may also be vulnerable. Vulnerabilities in the browser or malware on the device can create a gateway for attacks.
❇️Solution:
WalletConnect security depends not only on the technology itself, but also on how users use it and the dApps they interact with. To minimize risk, users should:
Verify transactions carefully: Always check transactions in the wallet before approving.
Only connect to reputable dApps: Limit connecting to dApps of unknown origin.
Maintain wallet security: Use a hardware wallet or a wallet with high security features.
Be careful when scanning QR codes: Only scan QR codes from trusted sources.
