#walletcomnnect $WCT @WalletConnect What is WalletConnect?
WalletConnect is an open-source protocol that makes it easier for cryptocurrency wallets to connect to decentralized applications (DApps). Instead of relying on browser extensions or copying and pasting wallet addresses, WalletConnect allows you to link your wallet to a decentralized application by quickly scanning a QR code or a deep link. WalletConnect works across multiple blockchains and aims to make Web3 more user-friendly and secure.
WalletConnect was originally created to address fragmented and weak interactions between DApps and wallets, and it has evolved into a protocol and network that supports millions of users and thousands of applications.
How WalletConnect Works
Essentially, WalletConnect acts as a connection layer that enables wallet applications to interact with decentralized applications without disclosing sensitive information, such as private keys.
The protocol supports encrypted messages over a session created by scanning a QR code or clicking on a deep link. Once connected, users can approve or reject transactions directly from their wallets, which remain under their full control throughout the session.
WalletConnect supports multiple blockchain networks, including Ethereum, Solana, Cosmos, Polkadot, and Bitcoin.
