In traditional methods, some dApps may require users to import their private keys into third-party tools or relay transaction requests through centralized servers, which increases the risk of private key theft or misuse.
WalletConnect, on the other hand, strictly adheres to the principle of 'localizing private keys' — all transaction signing operations are completed by the user's own wallet application, and private keys are always stored on local devices such as mobile phones or hardware wallets, never transmitted over the network or exposed to dApps.
It's like keeping the key to a safe in your own hands: even if the dApp or network encounters issues, your assets remain protected by your local wallet. For example, when you connect to Uniswap via WalletConnect to exchange tokens, the exchange instruction will only pop up for confirmation in your MetaMask or Trust Wallet, and the private key never leaves these applications, ensuring absolute security of the operation.
