WalletConnect is a powerful open-source protocol that enables secure and seamless communication between crypto wallets and decentralized applications (DApps). Unlike traditional browser extensions like MetaMask, WalletConnect allows users to interact with DApps directly from their mobile wallets — without compromising security, speed, or user experience.
✅ How WalletConnect Works
WalletConnect uses end-to-end encryption and QR code scanning or deep linking to establish a secure connection between your crypto wallet and a DApp. When a user wants to connect their wallet to a DApp, they simply scan a QR code or click a connect link. This creates a secure session that allows signing of transactions and interacting with blockchain applications — all from your mobile wallet.
