ETH is too much of a noble chain.
Anyone who has played DeFi or minted NFTs on the Ethereum chain understands how many times we've been trapped by wallet connections—clicking on a DApp prompts 'please connect wallet', MetaMask freezes; using a desktop browser, signatures just won't pop up; switch phones, and the connection drops.
Is this the user experience that Web3 should have? Clearly not.
At this point, WalletConnect acts like a sensible intermediary, letting your wallet and DApp 'communicate properly'.
You just need to open your mobile wallet and scan a QR code, no matter if you are using Uniswap, Aave, Balancer, Zora, Mirror—once connected, all signatures, authorizations, and transactions can be confirmed directly on your phone, no more battling with the browser.
Moreover, you can: view charts on the computer and confirm on your phone; manage assets on an iPad and trade on your phone; open positions on Chain A and top up on Chain B—all done in one connection.
In today's world of Layer2 (like Arbitrum, Optimism), wallet connections have become one of the biggest hurdles. WalletConnect saves developers a lot of trouble in integrating SDKs and compatibility, it's essentially a packaged 'wallet interaction as a plugin'.
Solana needs to be fast, Ethereum needs to be stable, but no matter which chain you use, WalletConnect is the universal key that helps you unlock the entrance. Stop using outdated plugin connection methods and complicating things; now you just scan a code, and the wallet comes to open the door for you.
