How Does WalletConnect Work?

@WalletConnect operates through a relay server infrastructure that supports real-time communication between wallets and decentralized applications. Here’s a brief breakdown of how it works:

Initiating a Connection:

When a user wants to connect their wallet to an app, they simply scan a QR code provided by the app, either through integrations within the app provided by tools like Reown AppKit, other connection kits, or by building direct, custom integrations that allow the QR code to communicate through the network. This QR code includes all the necessary connection details, making it a quick and intuitive process.

Delivering the connection:

When the user scans the QR code, they’d do this via an in-wallet scanner within the mobile wallet they’re using. This enables the wallet to receive the communication within seconds.

Securing the Connection: The WalletConnect network secures the connection by encrypting all messages exchanged between the wallet and the app, ensuring that user data remains private and secure.

Interoperability Across Blockchains: WalletConnect’s protocol supports interactions across multiple blockchains, which means users are not limited to any single network. They can access applications across Ethereum, Solana, and other networks without needing separate tools or wallets for each.

By creating a universal connection method, WalletConnect has enabled interoperability across blockchain networks and simplified how people interact with the decentralized internet.
