Have you ever felt this 'signature fear'?
• As soon as you enter the website, a connection pop-up appears, not knowing if it's trustworthy
• After clicking signature, you realize you've granted unlimited authorization
• I want to mint a coin, but I'm afraid of phishing and clearing my wallet
• Sometimes the app just disconnects suddenly...
You are not alone; this is the collective connection anxiety of Web3 users.
The truth is: we have no idea what we are actually connecting to
Scanning to connect to the wallet ≠ means it's safe
Connection signature ≠ means knowing what permissions you've granted to whom
You haven't even confirmed whether this dApp's contract address is real or not
On-chain, 'clicking to connect' might be the dividing line for your wallet assets
WalletConnect has begun to fight back: it launched a set of mechanisms called Verify & Session permission management
• App developers must register to verify their identity (to avoid impersonation/phishing)
• Users can see dApp source verification information before connecting
• Sessions can have customizable authorization times/permission scopes
• All interactions can be traced
• Wallets can integrate a unified pop-up standard, providing clear and straightforward prompts
In a nutshell: connection is not 'blind signing', but 'clear rights + accountability'.
So what is WCT useful for?
This verification network requires running nodes, collecting data, encrypting communication, and maintaining traceable authoritative information
All these services consume or bind economic models
And WCT is the token behind this network
In the future, every time you make a 'secure connection', there may be infrastructure supported by WCT behind it.
We talk about Web3 needing to be 'usable' every day,
But if the connection isn't safe, how can you dare to 'use' it?
When connections become verifiable, signatures controllable, and apps recognizable,
Web3 can truly transform from a 'game for the brave' to 'the network for everyone'.
Have you ever experienced 'connection anxiety'?
Do you think connection standards + signature permissions + verification mechanisms should be enforced across the industry?
Can WCT become the 'cost token for secure connections'?
