Friends who are new to Web3, are you often confused by 'how to connect a wallet'? Actually, with WalletConnect, you can get it done in just three simple steps, making it easy for beginners to get started.
Step 1: Open a DApp that supports WalletConnect
Whether it's a DeFi exchange, NFT platform, or blockchain game, as long as you can see the WalletConnect icon in the 'Connect Wallet' option, you can choose it. At this point, the DApp will generate a time-sensitive QR code (usually valid for 5 minutes).
Step 2: Scan the QR code with your wallet
Open your mobile wallet (like MetaMask, imToken, etc., and ensure it's updated to a version that supports WalletConnect). Find the WalletConnect feature in 'Settings' or 'Connect DApp', click 'Scan QR Code', and align it with the QR code on the DApp to complete the recognition.
Step 3: Confirm the connection and start operating
After scanning, the wallet will display the name of the DApp to connect to. Once confirmed, click 'Connect', and the encrypted channel will be established. Subsequently, when performing transactions, minting NFTs, or other operations on the DApp, the wallet will pop up a confirmation window. After checking that the information is correct, you can sign to complete the operation.
Remember a key principle: never disclose your wallet's private key or mnemonic phrase to anyone at any time. The WalletConnect connection process will never ask you to enter this information. Mastering these few steps will allow you to navigate the Web3 world safely and conveniently.
