WalletConnect is an open-source protocol that helps users connect their cryptocurrency wallets to decentralized applications (dApps) securely, quickly, and conveniently. Instead of entering a private key or seed phrase, users just need to scan a QR code or click a link – simple yet highly secure.
One of the outstanding advantages is security: wallet information is not shared directly with dApps but is end-to-end encrypted, as detailed at CoinGecko – What Is WalletConnect.
Secondly, it has high compatibility. WalletConnect supports hundreds of wallets (such as MetaMask, Trust Wallet, Phantom) and integrates with tens of thousands of dApps like Uniswap, OpenSea, or Lens. The protocol also supports multi-chain (Ethereum, Solana, Cosmos...), providing a seamless experience without the need to switch wallets – according to Alchemy: What is WalletConnect.
Finally, WalletConnect has strong mobility, especially suitable for mobile users. The new “Smart Session” feature (according to Blockworks – WalletConnect Ecosystem Update) allows maintaining the connection without needing to confirm each time.
In summary, WalletConnect is the ideal bridge between users and the Web3 world – combining security, convenience, and cross-platform capability.
