How does WalletConnect work?
WalletConnect acts as an intermediary protocol that creates secure, decentralized, and encrypted connections between the user's electronic wallet and decentralized applications (dApps). Instead of requiring users to log in with a traditional account or enter a private key, WalletConnect uses a QR code or deep link to establish the connection.

How Wallet Connect works
The specific operating mechanism is as follows:
Step 1 – Initiate connection: When users access a DApp (for example, Uniswap), they will select the “Connect Wallet” method and choose WalletConnect.
Step 2 – Scan QR code: The DApp will display a QR code representing the connection session. Users with a WalletConnect-integrated wallet (such as MetaMask, Trust Wallet, Bitcoin.com…) will scan this code.
Step 3 – Approval: After scanning, users will receive a notification in their wallet to confirm the connection. Once agreed, the connection will be encrypted and established.
Step 4 – Communication and transaction processing: All transaction requests from the DApp will be sent to the wallet via the secure connection. Users confirm each transaction directly within the wallet, ensuring no unintended actions occur.
