From a developer's perspective: Why integrating WalletConnect is a crucial step for dApp success.
One of the biggest challenges for a dApp developer is how to acquire and retain users. In the Web3 space, this means supporting as many wallets as users are using as possible. If a dApp only supports one or two specific browser plugin wallets, it automatically excludes a large group of users using mobile wallets, desktop wallets, or hardware wallets. This greatly limits its potential market size. By integrating WalletConnect, developers only need to write code once to instantly make their dApp compatible with hundreds of wallets that support the WalletConnect protocol. This "integrate once, use everywhere" model greatly reduces development and maintenance costs, allowing development teams to focus on building core product features instead of dealing with compatibility issues with various wallets. In addition, supporting WalletConnect also sends a positive signal to users: this dApp respects the user's right to choose and the principles of self-custody. In an ecosystem that increasingly values openness and interoperability, adopting industry standards like WalletConnect is not only a technical choice, but also a key strategy to integrate into the Web3 community and earn user trust.
